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
Public perceptions of vaccines were evaluated through a survey conducted by medical students from Rocky Vista University in March 2025. The survey included 252 patients attending medical outreach clinics in Panama, the Dominican Republic, and Guatemala. Results revealed a surprisingly high self-reported vaccination rate of 77.8% across the three countries, reflecting widespread vaccine acceptance and uptake. More than half of participants (54.4%) identified clinics or hospitals as their primary source of vaccine-related information, positioning health institutions at the forefront of information dissemination. Although 57.9% of respondents rated access to vaccines as easy overall, suggesting that physical access may not represent a major barrier, the survey highlighted other key obstacles, including fears of side effects and insufficient information. These findings provide valuable guidance for targeted health communication initiatives and may inform the development of broader strategies to address community-level barriers to vaccination and improve overall uptake.
