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

objectiveVaccine Hesitancy (VH) challenges previously perceived attitudes of a simple dichotomy of "accept" or "reject". This is not just due to people being uninformed or misinformed but rather due to multiple forms of distrust. It is criticized as a vague notion with an uncertain hypothetical background. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the baseline knowledge and immunization practices of postnatal mothers and their hesitancy after intervention with the health education tool 'SuBaDRa' and compare it with those of the control group.

resultThis hospital-based, single-blinded randomized control study was performed for 2 years with 272 (136 per group) postnatal mothers (booked cases with immunization cards and access to a smartphone) in Karnataka, India. 'SuBaDRa', a tailored health education tool, was used to counsel the intervention group: Presenting Sustainable initiatives by the government; assessing mothers' Baseline immunization knowledge and postintervention revaluations via the 'WHO SAGE questionnaire', Dissipating knowledge via health education and Reinforcement with social media applications. The control group was counseled about essential newborn care. The vaccine delay of infants at birth and at 6, 10, and 14 weeks and 9 months of age was assessed. The secondary outcome measures mothers' attitudes toward immunization postintervention. The vaccine was considered delayed if it was received later than 2 weeks after the recommended age. The characteristics of the study subjects, i.e., postnatal mothers with eligible newborns, were analyzed via descriptive statistics. These characteristics were compared between the intervention and control groups via the Chi-square (χ
