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

We conducted a systematic review to assess the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on measles vaccination coverage. We searched for articles published between January 2021 and December 2023 in Portuguese, English, and Spanish in the Web of Science, ScienceDirect, PubMed, and LILACS databases. The final sample consisted of 32 studies, which demonstrated that most countries had a 1% to 10% decrease on measles vaccination coverage during the pandemic. However, the influence of the pandemic varied worldwide, ranging from 1% to 60% based on the region. The COVID-19 pandemic has had a relatively modest impact on measles immunization, with a complex intersection of several factors associated with the decrease in measles vaccination coverage.
