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

objectivesTo investigate the relationship between vaccination coverage indicators and the structure of primary care for immunization in Brazilian municipalities.

methodsThis was a time series ecological study using data from the National Immunization Program Information System (SI-PNI) and the National Program for Improving Primary Care Access and Quality (PMAQ) over three evaluation cycles. A total of 13 variables were assessed, five of which related to the structure of basic health units (BHU) and eight to the availability of immunobiologicals. Analyses of comparisons, associations, and longitudinal models were carried out to assess the influence of these indicators on vaccination coverage levels.

resultsThe variables and indicators related to the structure of BHUs, the availability of immunobiologicals in Brazilian municipalities and vaccination coverage showed significant variations over the cycles. BHU structures ranged from fair to good, with lower percentages in Cycle 1 and increases in Cycles 2 and 3 for most of the variables analyzed. The availability of immunobiologicals also improved over the cycles, despite a few exceptions. Indicators of adequate vaccination coverage increased from Cycle 1 to Cycle 2 but decreased in Cycle 3. Improvements in the structure of the BHU and the availability of immunobiologicals were associated with higher adequate vaccination coverage. Keeping the availability of immunobiologicals fixed at good, the chance of having adequate coverage is 86.28% higher for a good structure compared to a poor one.

conclusionsChanges in the structure of municipal BHUs and in the availability of immunobiologicals over the cycles evaluated were identified and were associated with higher vaccination coverage when they occurred simultaneously (good availability of immunobiologicals and regular or good structure in BHUs). This highlights the importance of the quality of primary care in achieving vaccination coverage targets in Brazilian municipalities.
