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
Background: Immunisation is crucial for preventing the spread of infectious diseases; yet, adherence remains a global challenge, particularly among children under 12. Understanding the multifaceted factors influencing vaccination adherence is essential for improving coverage rates and reducing the burden of vaccine-preventable diseases. Aim: This study aimed to develop a support intervention for improvement in childhood immunisation adherence in South Africa. Methods: Following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines, a comprehensive search was conducted across multiple databases. The Patient (problem or population); Intervention; Comparison, control or comparator and Outcome(s) framework guided the research question formulation and search strategy. Included studies were published between 2013 and 2023, focusing on children under 12. Data were extracted and categorised into domains affecting immunisation adherence. Quality assessment was performed using the mixed methods appraisal tool. Results: The review identified five major domains influencing immunisation adherence: socioeconomic factors, health system factors, vaccine beliefs and attitudes, cultural and social factors, and communication and information factors. Conclusion: This review highlights the complex interplay of factors affecting childhood vaccination adherence. Critical areas for intervention include tailored communication strategies, addressing vaccine hesitancy, enhancing immunisation accessibility and leveraging digital technologies for vaccine promotion. Contribution: These insights can guide evidence-based strategies to improve immunisation adherence and inform policy in the evolving landscape of global public health.
