Achieving herd immunity against COVID-19 in the Philippines.
Article in Public health challenges, 2023. 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
Achieving herd immunity is crucial for the Philippines, which continues to struggle and recover from the grave impacts of the pandemic, especially regarding its health and socioeconomic sectors. As of November 2022, 65% Filipinos have been vaccinated, nearing the 70% target. Despite this progress, vaccination efforts in the Philippines remain challenged with vaccine hesitancy, unequal distribution, and limitations of the cold chain logistics. This commentary sheds light on the current state of COVID-19 in the Philippines and discusses the importance and challenges of its pandemic response, in the pursuit of herd immunity within a developing country.
