Characteristics of Studies Focusing on Vaccine Series Completion Among Children Aged 12-23 Months in Sub-Saharan Africa: A Scoping Review.
Review in Children (Basel, Switzerland), 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
Vaccine preventable diseases remain the leading causes of death among children in Sub-Saharan Africa. BACKGROUND/
objectivesAs vaccines provide the best possible protection only when all required doses are received, it is essential to understand how the published literature is designed and conducted regarding the completion of recommended childhood vaccine series for children aged 12-23 months in SSA.
methodsA comprehensive search was conducted across five databases (PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, Web of Science, and Google Scholar) to identify the relevant literature published between January 2000 through December 2023.
resultsA total of 53 studies meeting the inclusion criteria were identified from the five databases. Over half of the studies used a cross-sectional design (
conclusionsThis scoping review identified methodological gaps in the published literature, including a lack of publications from many Sub-Saharan Africa countries and insufficient evidence on trends and inequalities in vaccine series completion. Future research on vaccine series completion is recommended to address these gaps.
