Prevalence and correlates of COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy among Chinese myocardial infarction survivors: A cross-sectional study.
Article in Preventive medicine reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Individuals with cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are at increased risk for morbidity and mortality from severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. Although vaccinations should be a priority for individuals with high-risk CVDs, some may be hesitant to pursue such interventions. This cross-sectional study was designed to document the prevalence and correlates of COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy among myocardial infarction (MI) patients in China. Participants diagnosed with MI were recruited from Beijing Anzhen Hospital between October 17, 2021 and May 17, 2022. The primary outcome was prevalence rate of COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy. Demographics and attitudes toward vaccination were also assessed as potential correlates of vaccine hesitancy. A total of 565 MI patients were consecutively included for analyses. The percentage of participants that reported vaccine hesitancy was 32.7% (95 %CI: 28.9-36.6%), while 67.3% (95 %CI: 63.4-71.1%) viewed COVID-19 vaccines as safe and without serious side effects. MI patients who were married (OR = 0.47, 95 %CI: 0.23-0.95) and those who thought vaccines were safe (OR = 0.44, 95 %CI: 0.28-0.68) were less likely to report vaccine hesitancy. Conversely, participants who were older (OR = 1.04, 95 %CI: 1.02-1.07) and those who worried about being infected with COVID-19 (OR = 2.03, 95 %CI: 1.35-3.03) were more likely to be vaccine hesitant. A relatively high rate of vaccine hesitancy was found in Chinese MI patients. Immunization remains the leading strategy for reducing the health burden of COVID-19 in vulnerable groups including MI patients. Improving awareness of benefits of COVID-19 vaccines and emphasizing their safety could alleviate potential concerns of vaccine-hesitant MI survivors.
