Vaccination delay and associated factors among children of age 12-23 months in Gomma district, Oromia, Ethiopia, 2022.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Baby vaccination on time is still a concern, despite the fact that timely and full immunization of children could avert 90% of child mortality attributable to infectious diseases and nutritional problems that are preventable by vaccines. Although numerous research has been conducted on vaccination coverage, only a few studies have highlighted immunization delay and its associated factors in Ethiopia. Additionally, most of them were produced using data from urban populations. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the magnitude of vaccination delay and its associated factors among children aged 12-23 months in the Gomma district, which is one of the prevalently rural districts in Ethiopia. A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted at selected kebeles in the Gomma district from April 1 to 30, 2022, among 528 mother/caregiver-child pairs. A multistage sampling procedure was applied to select the study kebeles and households. Data were collected by face-to-face interviews using a structured questionnaire. The statistical software SPSS version 26 was used for analysis. Bivariable and multivariable binary logistic regression were fitted. Finally, an adjusted odds ratio (AOR) with a 95% CI and a p value < 0.05 was used to describe an association. A total of 528 participants were included in the study. The proportion of delayed vaccination was 40.50% (95% CI 36-44%). Home delivery (AOR 4.32; 95% CI 1.30-14.70), lack of post-natal follow-up [AOR 3.13; 95% CI (1.56-6.47)], and birth order of third and above (AOR 3.20; 95% CI 1.12-9.14) were found to be risk factors for vaccination delay. While a maternal age of above 31 years (AOR 0.40; 95% CI 0.10-0.80) was found to be a protective factor against vaccination delay. The proportion of delayed vaccination was considerable. Implementation of interventions that promote institutional delivery, post-natal service utilization, and increasing knowledge of vaccination schedules are important to minimize the proposition of vaccination delay among children in the study area.
