Compliance with recommended immunizations in adolescents.
Article in European journal of pediatrics, 2006. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
introductionLittle is known about the completeness and timely administration of recommended standard immunizations in Germany. The goal of this study was to determine compliance with official standard immunization recommendations in adolescents attending secondary schools in the city of Erlangen, Germany.
methodsAdolescents who were attending 5th grade (at approximately 11 years of age), 8th grade (14 years), or 10th and 11th grade (16-17 years) classes at any of the 13 of 14 schools that had agreed to participate were eligible to be enrolled.
resultsWhile coverage for the primary series of diphtheria, tetanus and poliomyelitis immunizations was satisfactory (98%), coverage for measles-mumps-rubella immunizations (dose 1: 89-96%; dose 2: 60-76%) and hepatitis B (doses 1-3: 61%) was suboptimal. Of note, 39% of students had not received any immunization against pertussis. Completion of immunization series generally was significantly delayed. Furthermore, rates for recommended booster doses in adolescence were disappointingly low with 21% for tetanus component vaccines and <10% for the fifth dose of pertussis.
conclusionsSignificant immunization gaps for all recommended standard immunizations in adolescents were detected. This puts individuals at risk for serious vaccine-preventable diseases, contributes to suboptimal herd immunity in the population under study leaving the potential for future epidemics, and impedes national and international targets of disease reduction or elimination.
