Risk factors associated with non-vaccination in Gambian children: a population-based cohort study.
Article in Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
backgroundWe determined the risk factors associated with unvaccinated children in rural Gambia.
methodsWe conducted prospective demographic surveillance and recorded immunisations in real time in the Upper River Region, The Gambia. Analysis included residents born from 1 January 2012 to 31 December 2016. Data included age, sex, household members and relationships, migrations, births, deaths, ethnicity, residential location and birth type. Children were defined as unvaccinated at 10, 15 and 24 mo of age if they missed all primary series doses (pentavalent, oral polio and pneumococcal conjugate vaccines), secondary series (first dose measles and yellow fever vaccines) or both vaccination series, respectively. Logistic regressions measured the association between risk factors and being unvaccinated.
resultsIn total, 5% (1567/30 832) of infants born during the study period and who were residents at the age of 10 mo were unvaccinated. Being unvaccinated at 10 mo of age was associated with children; who did not reside with either parent (adjusted OR 2.26, 95% CI 1.60 to 3.19), whose parents were not the head of household (1.29, 1.09 to 1.52), who had experienced immigration (2.78, 1.52 to 5.08) or who were not of Mandinka ethnicity (between 1.57 and 1.85 for other ethnicities).
conclusionsFamily characteristics are associated with unimmunised children in rural Gambia. Our findings may inform strategies to increase vaccine coverage.
