Multivariate Assessment of Vaccine Equity in Cambodia: A Longitudinal VERSE Tool Case Study Using Demographic and Health Survey 2004, 2010, and 2014.
Article in Vaccines, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Cambodia has exhibited great progress in achieving high coverage in nationally recommended immunizations. As vaccination program managers plan interventions to reach last-mile children, it is important to consider issues of equity immunization priority setting. In this analysis, we apply the VERSE Equity Tool to Cambodia's Demographic and Health Survey for the years 2004, 2010, and 2014 to evaluate multivariate equity in vaccine coverage for 11 vaccination statuses, emphasizing the results of the 2014 survey for MCV1, DTP3, fully immunized for age (FULL), and zero dose (ZERO). The largest drivers of vaccination inequity are socioeconomic status and the educational attainment of the child's mother. MCV1, DTP3, and FULL exhibit increasing levels of both coverage and equity with increasing survey years. The national composite Wagstaff concentration index values from the 2014 survey for DTP3, MCV1, ZERO, and FULL are 0.089, 0.068, 0.573, and 0.087, respectively. The difference in vaccination status coverage between the most and least advantaged quintiles of Cambodia's population, using multivariate ranking criteria, is 23.5% for DTP3, 19.5% for MCV1, 9.1% for ZERO, and 30.3% for FULL. By utilizing these VERSE Equity Tool outputs, immunization program leaders in Cambodia can identify subnational regions in need of targeted interventions.
