[Determinants of vaccine acceptance in Makokou, Gabon].
Article in The Pan African medical journal, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Conclusion: de nombreuses connaissances erronées dans les communautés de Makoukou nécessitent d'être corrigées par le PEV, afin d'intégrer une culture de vaccination. Introduction: the root causes of vaccine hesitancy in communities must be determined in order to address them. Analyzing the knowledge, attitudes, and perceptions of parents could help explain the poor performance of the Expanded Program on Immunization (EPI). Methods: a household survey was conducted in the city of Makokou in October 2021. The questionnaire covered five areas of vaccination: access, accessibility, information, acceptance and activation. A descriptive analysis followed by logistic regression was performed to measure the effect of vaccine acceptance. Results: a total of 486 people, from urban (66%) and rural (34%) areas, were surveyed. Participants ranged in age from 18 to 86 years old, with an average age of 28.5±11.3 years, and a sex ratio of 0.69. The number of dependent children ranged from 0 to 21, with an average of 1.3 children. The majority of respondents (61.9%) were unaware of the EPI; the most recognized disease was tetanus (37%) and the main source of information was family discussion (40.5%). The main issues at vaccination centers were waiting times (51.9%), lack of information (26.7%) and poor reception (20.2%). Nearly half (48%) did not trust government vaccines. Male gender, rural living environment, difficulty in accessing the centers, and lack of information were the main factors associated with vaccine acceptance in Ogooué-Ivindo. Conclusion: numerous misconceptions in the communities of Makokou need to be corrected by the EPI to foster a culture of vaccination.
