Eradication of wild poliovirus in Nigeria: Lessons learnt.
Article in Public health in practice (Oxford, England), 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
Introduction: On August 24, 2020, Nigeria recorded a monumental success by achieving the aim of a "wild polio-free country" after completing three years without any case of wild poliovirus (WPV). Methods: For this commentary, we consulted relevant publications, official documents, and working plans and policy statements of the relevant organizations responsible for Nigeria's Polio Eradication Initiative. Results: Efforts to curb the challenges the Polio Eradication Initiative (PEI) faced in Nigeria through effective partnerships, the CORE Group Polio Project (CGPP), Volunteer Community Mobilizers (VCMs), and Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI) partners proved successful, as it resulted in Nigeria being removed from the list of endemic countries in September 2015, and subsequently declared free of WPV on August 24, 2020, following an absence of indigenous transmission for three years. Conclusion: Unrelenting prioritization of polio eradication and global support is still needed to achieve a polio-free world.
