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

The attitudes of reproductive-age individuals toward COVID-19 vaccination during pregnancy are still not well understood. We aimed to explore the attitudes toward COVID-19 vaccines during pregnancy and the determinants among the Chinese reproductive-age population. An anonymous cross-sectional study was conducted in China from July 4 to August 11, 2023. Structured questionnaires on vaccine hesitancy during pregnancy, socio-demographic characteristics, behavior characteristics, health-related factors, and mental health status were sent online to reproductive-age individuals (both males and females). Among 2966 participants of reproductive age, 86.9% exhibited significant hesitancy toward receiving the COVID-19 vaccine during pregnancy. Participants of older age (30-34: aOR = 1.71, 95% CI: 1.62-2.52; 35-39: aOR = 1.72, 95% CI: 1.11-2.66), nonsmokers (aOR = 1.42, 95% CI: 1.07-1.89), with a longer duration since their last COVID-19 vaccination (aOR = 2.37, 95% CI: 1.20-4.70), and exhibiting marked pandemic fatigue (moderate: aOR = 1.98, 95% CI: 1.56-2.52; high: aOR = 3.49, 95% CI: 2.41-5.05) were prone to refuse COVID-19 vaccines during pregnancy. The presence of generalized anxiety disorder may push the vaccination (aOR = 0.75, 95% CI: 0.57-0.99). The top three reasons for hesitation were concerns about the adverse health effects of vaccines on pregnant women (77.72%), fetuses (72.13%), and newborns/infants (58.77%), respectively. Therefore, under the context of the existing circumstances and the WHO's encouragement, this study provides data support for possible future policy changes and emphasizes the importance of public health strategies.
