Measles second dose vaccine uptake and associated factors among under-five children in Jigjiga City, Somali Region, Eastern Ethiopia: a community-based cross-sectional study.

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
Background: Measles is one of the leading causes of under-five mortality and morbidity worldwide. Although the routine service for the second dose of the measles-containing vaccine (MCV2) was introduced in Ethiopia recently, there is a paucity of evidence regarding its coverage and the factors that hinder its uptake at both the local and national levels. Thus, this study aimed to assess the uptake of MCV2 and its associated factors among children aged between 15 and 36 months old in Jigjiga City, Somali Region, Ethiopia. Methods: A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 429 children aged between 15 and 36 months old with their mothers/caregivers in Jigjiga City from April 1 to May 1, 2023. A multistage sampling technique was used and data were collected by using structured interviewer-administered questionnaires. The collected data were entered into Epi-data version 3.2 and analyzed in a statistical package for the social sciences (SPSS) version 26. Bivariate and multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed to identify factors associated with the uptake of the measles second dose vaccine. An adjusted odds ratio with 95% CI were reported and statistical significance was declared at Results: The coverage of MCV2 among children aged between 15 and 36 months was 21.4% (95% CI: 17.7, 25.2). The educational status of the mother (AOR = 3.154; 95% CI: 1.68, 5.93), place of delivery (AOR = 1.90; 95% CI: 1.08, 3.25), postnatal care visits of the mother (AOR = 2.40; 95% CI: 1.37, 4.22), time taken to reach a health facility (AOR = 2.67; 95% CI: 1.28, 5.57), and knowledge about child vaccination (AOR = 2.43; 95% CI: 1.45, 4.08) were factors significantly associated with the uptake of the measles second dose vaccine. Conclusion: The coverage of MCV2 in the study area was low compared to the national immunization targets. Educational status of the mother/caregivers, place of delivery, postnatal care visits of the mother, time to reach a health facility, and knowledge about vaccination of children were significantly associated with measles second dose vaccination. The focus should be given to improving the awareness of mothers on the importance of child vaccination to improve the uptake of measles second dose vaccine and reduce the burden of measles in the region.
