Vaccination information fathers receive during pregnancy and determinants of infant vaccination timeliness.

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
The information fathers receive about infant vaccination may influence their decision to vaccinate. We describe fathers' sources of vaccination information and paternal determinants of timely infant vaccinations. Participants were from a child cohort study in New Zealand. The child cohort was established by enrolling pregnant women and their partners. During pregnancy, fathers (n = 4017) of the cohort children born 2009-2010 described information sources that encouraged or discouraged infant vaccination. The National Immunization Register provided infant vaccination data. Independent associations of the vaccination information received by fathers with the timeliness of their infant's vaccination were determined using multivariable logistic regression. Associations were described using adjusted odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals. One-third of fathers (1430/4017 [36%]) recalled receiving vaccination information, 64% of which encouraged vaccination. Most infants (2900/4017 [72%]) received all their vaccinations on time, however only 58% of Māori infants were vaccinated on time. Paternal determinants of vaccination timeliness were the father receiving discouraging or conflicting information about vaccination, father's ethnicity, father's vaccination hesitancy, and whether the mother received vaccination information. To improve vaccination uptake and timeliness, a vaccination conversation with mothers, fathers and whānau could be included in routine antenatal care, informing and supporting decision-making, and addressing concerns. Vaccination education should address present and historic distrust of the health system. Framing vaccination within a Māori model of health and including fathers and whānau in decision-making will address vaccination inequities in New Zealand.
