Determinants of childhood vaccination among children aged 12-23 months in Ethiopia: a community-based cross-sectional study.
Article in BMJ open, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 21 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
objectiveChildhood vaccination is a cost-effective, essential service to reach a larger population globally. Due to unclear reasons, new emergence and resurgence of vaccine-preventable diseases increase. Thus, the aim of this study is to identify prevalence and determinants of childhood vaccination in Ethiopia.
designCommunity-based cross-sectional study.
settingWe used data from 2019 Ethiopia Mini Demographic and Health Survey. The survey included all the nine regional states and two city administrations of Ethiopia.
participantsA weighted sample of 1008 children 12-23 months of age was included in the analysis.
main outcome measuresA multilevel proportional odds model was fitted to identify determinants of childhood vaccination status. In the final model, variables with a p value of less than 5% and an adjusted OR (AOR) with a 95% CI were reported.
resultThe full childhood vaccination coverage of Ethiopia was 39.09% (95% CI: 36.06%-42.28%). Mothers who attended primary (AOR=2.16; 95% CI: 1.43-3.26), secondary (AOR=2.02; 95% CI: 1.07-3.79) and higher education (AOR=2.67; 95% CI: 1.25-5.71); being in union (AOR=2.21; 95% CI: 1.06-4.58); kept vaccination cards (AOR=26.18; 95% CI: 15.75-43.53); children receiving vitamin A
conclusionThe full childhood vaccination coverage in Ethiopia was low and remained unchanged since 2016. The study identified that both the individual-level and community-level factors affected the vaccination status. Accordingly, public health interventions targeted to these identified factors can increase childhood full vaccination status.
