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

backgroundFull vaccination coverage has been identified as the foundation for the prevention of morbidity and mortality from the childhood illnesses. However, a significant number of children do not get recommended vaccinations. The problem is much worse in low-income countries with varied figures and evidence gap. Therefore, this study was conducted to assess vaccination coverage and its predicting factors in one of the low-income country Ethiopia, particularly in northwest Ethiopia.

methodsA community-based cross-sectional study was conducted in Northwest Ethiopia in 2016 on 846 children aged 12 to 23 completed months. Cluster sampling method was used. Mothers or caretakers were interviewed. SPSS version 20 was used for analysis.

resultsIn Northwest Ethiopia, full-vaccination coverage for the children aged 12-23 months was 58.4%, while 17% and 24.6% were partially vaccinated and not vaccinated at all respectively. Child full vaccination status has a positive association with urban residence, having antenatal care visit, institutional delivery for the study child, vaccination site at health institutions, mothers who knows vaccination schedule of a catchment area, and mothers taking a child for vaccination even if the child is sick. However, mothers who ever-married and their travel time to the nearest vaccination site ≤ 30 minutes were negatively associated with child full-vaccination status.

conclusionVaccination coverage in Northwest Ethiopia, East Gojam, is better than the national coverage. Yet, it is far below the plan. Encouraging antenatal care utilization, delivery at health institutions, and providing adequate information on child vaccination (including when to start, return and finish) for mothers would increase full-vaccination coverage.
