Vaccine wastage in the Philippines: An examination of the contributory factors.
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 1 paper.
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
The global introduction of COVID-19 vaccines provided relief to the burden inflicted by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. However, reports of vaccine wastage are still apparent in some countries, particularly in the Philippines. This paper examines the phenomenon of vaccine wastage with emphasis on factors related to improper storage and distribution and on vaccine hesitancy whose roots may be traced to a controversial vaccine rollout. The discussion elaborates on the following themes: (a) supply chain management, (b) limited health literacy, and (c) the unintended consequences of vaccine hesitancy. This paper asserts that addressing the problem of vaccine wastage may involve public-private partnerships that are grounded in good governance and transparency. In addition, combatting disinformation may entail collaborative communication strategies that may tap into the valuable contributions of the health/natural sciences and the humanities.
