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

backgroundThe clients' willingness to accept (WTA) and willingness to pay (WTP) for a given good or service can help elicit the monetary value of that good or service. This study aims to assess the WTA and WTP of mothers attending primary health centers for vaccines to their children during 2019 in Kermanshah city, western Iran.

methodsWe conducted a cross-sectional study on a total of 667 mothers attending primary health centers for vaccines to their children aged two to 18 months. A multistage sampling technique was employed to involve the mothers in the study, and data were collected using a self-administrated open-ended questionnaire. The multivariate linear regression model was used to identify the factors associated with the mothers' WTP and WTA for vaccines to their children.

resultsThe study indicated that 94.2 and 93.1% of the mothers respectively had WTA and WTP values greater than zero, with their corresponding mean values of US$ 6.8 and US$ 4.4. The mothers in the higher monthly household income category, mothers born in the urban areas, and being a female child showed statistically significant positive associations with the mothers' WTA for the vaccines. While there was a statistically significant positive relationship between monthly household income and the mothers' WTP; a statistically significant negative relationship exists between the mothers' age and their WTP for the vaccine to their children.

conclusionsThe findings indicated the mothers' WTA to WTP ratio of greater than one for the vaccines to their children. The most important factor associated with the mothers' WTA and WTP was the monthly household income. Thus, improving the socio-economic standards of women in the study area might contribute to reinforcing their immunization services seeking behavior to their children.
