Study protocol for a cluster-randomised controlled trial of hybrid parents and health workers adaptive intervention for optimal routine childhood immunisation coverage in the communities of Ebonyi state, Nigeria: the AGINTOPIC trial protocol.
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 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
introductionVaccine-preventable infectious diseases (VPDs) are major causes of morbidity/mortality among children under 5 years of age worldwide and in Nigeria/Ebonyi state. Routine childhood immunisation is an invaluable prevention strategy for many VPDs. Due to suboptimal coverage and untimely receipt/delay in receipt of vaccinations, outbreaks of VPDs such as measles, yellow fever, diphtheria and others continue to reoccur around the world and in Nigeria/Ebonyi state. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of hybrid parents and health workers adaptive intervention in increasing the optimal/timely (cumulative age-appropriate) routine childhood immunisation coverage in the communities in Ebonyi state, Nigeria. METHODS AND ANALYSES: A two-arm, parallel, open label, covariate-constrained cluster-randomised controlled trial with 1:1 allocation of 16 geographical clusters (the nearest catchment areas for at least one public primary healthcare (PHC) facility with at least 500 households or a population size of 3000) will be used to evaluate the effects of hybrid/combined parents and PHC workers adaptive engagement compared with control. The primary outcomes are the optimal/timely (cumulative age-appropriate) receipt of the recommended vaccines in the routine childhood immunisation schedule by children aged 5-9 completed months and 10-11 completed months and the age-appropriate vaccines receipt score for the recommended vaccines. The outcomes will be measured through a population-based household survey of at least 15 children aged 5-9 and 10-11 months per cluster at baseline and at the end of the study using a structured interviewer-administered questionnaire in KoBoCollect installed in android devices. All analyses will be done using a cluster-level method on as-randomised basis. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: Ethical approval for the trial was obtained from the Ebonyi State Health Research and Ethics Committee (EBSHREC/01/06/2022-31/05/2023) and verbal consent will be obtained from participants. Study findings will be reported at local/national and international levels as appropriate. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: ISRCTN59811905.
