Coverage of Measles-Rubella Vaccination Campaign: A Cross-Sectional Study in an Urban Slum of Durgapur, West Bengal, India.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectivesPostpandemic, several cases of measles outbreaks were reported across India which were found to be the highest globally in the years 2022-2023. Measles-rubella (MR) vaccination campaigns were conducted to address the situation. Despite efforts, there are various challenges to achieving adequate vaccination coverage. Therefore, the objectives of this study are to assess the coverage of vaccination during the MR campaign among children from nine months to 15 years of age, to describe the sociodemographic factors related to the vaccination, and to assess the drivers and barriers responsible for acceptance and nonacceptance of MR vaccine.
methodsA cross-sectional study was carried out in an urban slum area under the Urban Health Training Center (UHTC), IQ City Medical College & Hospital, Durgapur, West Bengal from August to October 2023 among children in the age group of nine months to 15 years. Data was collected from 228 participants using a predesigned, pretested structured schedule. A multistage cluster random sampling technique was used to select the study subjects. Data were analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, Version 23 (Released 2015; IBM Corp., Armonk, New York, United States), and a p-value less than 0.05 was considered significant.
resultsA total of 85.5% (195) of the participants were found to be vaccinated. Only 52.3% (23) of the children who were not enrolled in school/Anganwadi center (AWC) were found to be vaccinated. A total of 100% of the children were vaccinated whose guardians had the knowledge that the vaccine was given for COVID-19. Ease to access vaccination sites was the major driving force for vaccination.
conclusionDropouts from the National Immunization Schedule (NIS) and school and lack of proper information about vaccination had proved to be major hindrances to vaccine uptake during the MR vaccination campaign.
