Taking the sting out of school-based immunizations.
Article in Paediatrics & child health, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
Pain and fear widely contribute to negative experiences for students during school-based immunizations. In this preliminary research, we used a pre-existing network of 50 schools across Canada that participated in a biannual national immunization poster competition for grade 6 students organized by Immunize Canada to survey principals, teachers and students about their experiences with immunization pain and fear, how they want to learn about managing pain and fear and opportunities to include this information in the process of immunization. Responses revealed that both pain and fear are relevant to the immunization experience and that education and interventions are welcome by students and school staff. This may lead to improved attitudes about immunization, as well as future compliance with recommended immunizations.
