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
Objective: To quantify the occurrence of vaccine-associated paralytic poliomyelitis (VAPP) cases in Brazil from January 2013 to May 2023. Methods: A descriptive study was conducted on VAPP cases reported as events supposedly attributable to vaccination or immunization (ESAVI) following oral poliovirus vaccine (OPV) administration. VAPP cases were defined as acute flaccid paralysis (AFP) with isolation of vaccine-derived poliovirus in stool samples and persistence of motor deficits after 60 days. Results: A total of 200 suspected cases were identified, with two confirmed as VAPP (<1 case per 10 million doses administered) based on the isolation of the vaccine virus. Risk factors associated with VAPP included incomplete vaccination schedules, malnutrition, and/or immunodeficiency. Conclusions: VAPP occurrence was rare and aligned with expected values. Continued surveillance of ESAVI and suspected VAPP cases is essential to support poliomyelitis eradication efforts and ensure vaccine safety.
