Constructing protective mechanism by analysis of vaccine impact based on hybrid model of dynamic DEA and cluster tendency.
Article in BMC public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundCOVID-19 was announced as a public health emergency of international concerns by WHO in January 2020 and many global scientists started to develop vaccines to stop the spread of COVID-19. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of vaccination to confirmed cases and deaths.
methodsThis paper analyzed the impact of vaccines on COVID-19 from 17 selected countries and considered the impact of vaccines in epidemic prevention for evaluating the efficiency of epidemic prevention by establishing three scenarios. Firstly, we used the undesirable output model to analyze the impact of the number of confirmed cases and death as undesirable output to assess the policy effect. Then, we considered the vaccination rate as a carryover and used dynamic Data Envelopment Analysis to evaluate efficiency. Finally, the mortality variable was excluded to examine the impact of vaccines on mortality.
results17 countries were classified via clustering analysis into three group based on elbow point plot. There are two countries ranked the best performance based on dynamic Data Envelopment Analysis in each group. It indicated that the countries with the same characteristics can improve their performance in preventing pandemic by learning the countries with similar characteristics.
conclusionThe vaccine administration is the main strategy for epidemic prevention. Furthermore, preventive measures are essential. In the post-epidemic era, government should reduce the mortality rate and main the medical system to ensure public welfare.
