Measles outbreak in sub-Saharan Africa amidst COVID-19: A rising concern, efforts, challenges, and future recommendations.
Article in Annals of medicine and surgery (2012), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
In Sub-Saharan Africa, the number cases of Measles have spiked by 400%, some of the countries affected being Ethiopia, Somalia and Democratic Republic of the Congo. This is due to the emergence of COVID-19 which has disrupted the global fight against Measles by impairing the routine immunization programs. This has led to suspension of the measles vaccination drive, where about 23 million children missed out on all basic childhood vaccines including Measles-Mumps-Rubella vaccine in Sub-Saharan Africa. Despite the efforts to conduct mass immunization campaign for Measles in some countries, there is a need to build stronger health systems that would provide education to promote awareness and commitment to routine Measles vaccination and provide Vitamin A supplements to boost immunity.
