Achieving COVID-19 and Routine Immunization Data Systems Integration on the Electronic Management of Immunization Data System in Nigeria.

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
backgroundIn 2021, Nigeria developed a novel Electronic Management of Immunization Data (EMID) system to address COVID-19 data management challenges and ensure the successful implementation of its COVID-19 vaccine deployment plan. The EMID system was envisioned to be interoperable with the DHIS2 national data management system and serve as a gateway into the integration of other primary health care (PHC) service data management. However, the EMID system faced challenges, including inability to filter reports, missing or loss of data, and difficulties with data synchronization, which curtailed its potential to meet the country's needs for COVID-19 data management and negatively impacted system scalability to enable integration with other PHC data systems.
methodsMultilayered stakeholder interviews were conducted to determine the optimal functionality requirements for the EMID system. Based on these findings, an optimization plan was designed and implemented to address identified gaps and create a more stable and scalable system to enable further system integrations. Following optimization, a routine immunization module was developed and integrated with the EMID system as a first step to achieving an integrated data management system for PHC services in Nigeria.
resultsThe integrated system currently provides an opportunity to address data fragmentation and strengthen PHC service delivery in Nigeria. By allowing 1 health care worker to deliver both vaccinations, there is also potential for reduction in cost and redundancies, informing redistribution of the health workforce and overall system strengthening.
conclusionThe journey from the initial challenges faced by the EMID system to the development of an integrated system for PHC services in Nigeria has been a transformative one. Through a thorough optimization process, training and capacity-building, stakeholder-driven improvements, and an elicitation exercise, the EMID system has evolved into a powerful tool for addressing data fragmentation and enhancing public health service delivery in the country.
