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
Immunization has become one of the major contributors to public health globally as it prevents communicable disease, particularly in children. The objective of this study was to estimate the extent of timely immunization coverage and to investigate the determinants of incomplete and untimely vaccination.
methodsThe study used data from the latest Bangladesh Demographic Health Survey (BDHS) 2014. A total sample of 1631 children aged 12⁻23 months who had an Expanded Program on Immunization (EPI) card and immunization history were analyzed. Multivariable logistic regression models were used to determine the significant influencing factors on untimely vaccination (BCG, pentavalent vaccine/OPV, and measles) and incomplete vaccination. The results were presented in terms of adjusted odds ratio (AOR) with a 95% confidence interval and a significance level
resultsThe proportions of children who received timely vaccinations were 24% for BCG, 46% for pentavalent 3, and 53% for measles, whereas 76%, 51%, and 36% children failed to receive the BCG, pentavalent 3, and measles vaccines, respectively, in a timely manner. The proportion of early vaccination was 3% for pentavalent 3 and 12% for measles. Several significant influencing factors including age, maternal education and working status, awareness of community clinics, socioeconomic status, and geographic variation significantly contributed to untimely and incomplete vaccination of children in Bangladesh.
conclusionsThe study identified some key determinants of untimely and incomplete childhood vaccinations in the context of Bangladesh. The findings will contribute to the improvement of age-specific vaccination and support policy makers in taking the necessary control strategies with respect to delayed and early vaccination in Bangladesh.
