1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Racially and ethnically diverse populations and individuals residing in rural areas were disproportionally impacted by the coronavirus pandemic, and Eastern North Carolina (ENC) is one region where such impacts were apparent. To understand at-risk individuals' perceptions and hesitancy to COVID-19 vaccines and the preferred means of receiving vaccination-related messages, we conducted four qualitative focus groups (N = 40) with diverse rural ENC residents. The analysis of the focus group transcripts revealed five themes: (1) reasons people trusted the COVID-19 vaccines, (2) reasons people mistrusted the COVID-19 vaccines, (3) the best means to deliver messages regarding COVID-19 vaccination, (4) the individuals trusted most to deliver such messages, and (5) the decisions people made regarding whether to get vaccinated and how that was connected to God. By incorporating participant perspectives and preferences in receiving messaging into campaigns, there is a potential for greater vaccine uptake.
