1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Vaccination is a successful public health intervention; however, vaccine-preventable diseases continue to pose global health risks due to insufficient uptake. Expanding authority for "alternative" or complementary healthcare providers to administer vaccinations, as well as approving additional non-clinical vaccination sites, could improve access to and uptake of vaccines. The value of complementary providers and expanded sites has been documented in the United States; however, there is limited evidence in geographies outside the United States. To address this gap, we conducted a systematic literature review to identify studies that evaluated vaccination by complementary providers and/or at expanded sites outside of the United States. Of 943 identified records, 18 met our inclusion criteria and were conducted in Australia (4), Canada (6), the United Kingdom (3), Peru (2), Cameroon (1), or in multiple geographies (2). All studies demonstrated that expanding provider types and sites could positively impact vaccine uptake and/or provide additional benefits.
