Redefining High-Risk and Mobile Population in Pakistan Polio Eradication Program; 2024.
Article in Vaccines, 2025. 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
backgroundThis study aimed to analyze the patterns and underlying reasons associated with population movement across Sindh, Pakistan.
methodsCross-sectional surveys were conducted in response to the detection of WPV1 in various districts in Sindh province, where genetic linkages with poliovirus isolates in Karachi had been identified. The surveys targeted union councils (UCs) contributing sewage to the environmental sample collection sites where WPV1 was detected.
resultsIn the Karachi division a total of 1392 participants were interviewed, and outside Karachi 1471 participants were included. A significantly higher proportion of female participants were interviewed in Karachi (
conclusionsIt is critical to redefine high-risk populations annually based on updated mobility data, social survey analyses, and virus detection via surveillance to better identify and reach unvaccinated children in the Pakistan polio program. In addition, strategically placed PTPs along both formal and informal travel corridors based on an updated risk framework will enhance vaccination, thereby reducing the risk of virus spread.
