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

objectiveThough vaccination coverage in Ethiopia has shown steady progress over the years, there are districts with below targeted vaccination coverage. This study assessed the magnitude and determinants of recently introduced vaccines uptake among children aged 12-23 months in Ethiopia.

designNational cross-sectional study.

settingEthiopia.

participantsMothers with children aged between 12 and 23 months. OUTCOME MEASURES: The outcome variable was the uptake of recently introduced vaccines (rotavirus vaccine (RV) and pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV)) among children aged 12-23.

resultsOur analysis revealed that 45.7%, 53.4% and 43.5% of the children completed vaccination with PCV, RV and both PCV and RV, respectively. Being in the age group of 20-34 (adjusted OR (AOR)=2.03, 95% CI: 1.37 to 3.02) and 35-49 (AOR=2.44, 95% CI: 1.52 to 3.91), having at least four antenatal care contacts (AOR=2.73, 95% CI: 2.06 to 3.62), having postnatal care (AOR=1.84, 95% CI: 1.42 to 2.37), delivery in the health facility (AOR=1.45, 95% CI: 1.17 to 1.79) and having exposure to media (AOR=1.24, 95% CI: 1.09 to 1.56) and any of the wealth quintile categories higher than poorest category were positively associated with the uptake of newly introduced vaccines. Rural residency was found to be negatively associated with the uptake of newly introduced vaccines.

conclusionThe overall full uptakes of newly introduced vaccines among children aged 12-23 months were significantly lower. Hence, this study emphasises the need to strengthen maternal and child healthcare services, particularly to the younger age mother and those with lower socioeconomic status.
