Immunisation status of children under 2 years of age visiting Khyber Teaching Hospital, Peshawar, Pakistan: a cross-sectional analysis.
Article in BMJ open, 2025. 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
objectiveThe study was conducted to determine the immunisation status of children under 2 years of age, assess the determinants of non-immunisation and evaluate the association between immunisation status and various sociodemographic factors.
methodsA cross-sectional questionnaire-based study was conducted at the outpatient department of Khyber Teaching Hospital, Peshawar, over a period of 4 months. A convenience sampling technique was used and the sample size was calculated using the WHO sample size formula, resulting in n=363. A semistructured questionnaire was used to measure the primary outcome, which was the immunisation status of children under 2 years of age. Immunisation data were verified through vaccination cards to ensure accuracy and minimise recall bias. The questionnaire also collected information on sociodemographic factors, including maternal education, place of residence and household income. Statistical analysis was done at the end of the study using SPSS (V.25).
resultsAccording to the vaccination card, it was found that 43.3% of the children were fully immunised, 32.5% of the children were partially immunised and the percentage of unimmunised children was 24.2.
conclusionWe found that the immunisation status of children was not satisfactory. Sustained efforts are required to achieve universal coverage of immunisation. Significant interventions are required, especially in areas that are more rural and less educated.
