On-time vaccination coverage in premature infants in Ontario, 2002-2009.
Article in Canadian journal of public health = Revue canadienne de sante publique, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
objectivePremature children are at increased risk of complications from vaccine-preventable diseases and should be vaccinated with the routinely recommended childhood vaccines at the same chronological age as full-term infants with the exception of the hepatitis B vaccine for infants of HBsAg-positive mothers. We sought to compare on-time vaccination levels in premature children for recommended vaccinations to levels in children born at term.
methodsUsing linked health administrative databases, we compared the proportion of term (37+ wks), near term (33-36 wks), very premature (28-32 wks) and extremely premature (≤27 wks) children who received at least one vaccination during the 2-, 4- and 6-month vaccination visits within the recommended time period in the province of Ontario.
resultsWhen we excluded children who were hospitalized at any time during the vaccination window, we identified that vaccination rates were within 3% of each other in the 4 categories examined. However, when we included infants who may have been hospitalized at any point during the on-time window, we observed substantially lower rates in the extremely premature children at 2 and 4 months and in the very premature children at 2 months.
conclusionOur study identifies the need to confirm whether vaccinations are given while premature children are in hospital during the time of their scheduled vaccinations.
