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
backgroundChild vaccination plays a great role in preventing infectious diseases in children. While Ethiopia has emphasized child vaccination, its effectiveness largely depends on efficient communication between health practitioners and mothers/caregivers. Thus, sufficient communication contributes to promoting child immunization and in turn improving child health.
aimTo examine child vaccine communication practices and strategies as well as their relationship with sociodemographic characteristics of respondents in the Amhara region of Ethiopia.
methodsA quantitative cross-sectional survey was conducted using a pretested Likert scale questionnaire and distributed to 123 health workers in primary healthcare centers between April 2024 and June 2024. The data were analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistics.
resultsThe results indicated that the most common vaccine communication activities included education and communication (mean score = 24.1), vaccine data registration (mean score = 8.86), and information exchange (mean score = 8.3). A significant correlation was found between the implementation of interpersonal health communication principles and immunization communication training (
conclusionBased on the findings the study concluded that communication practice in promoting child immunization is insufficient. To enhance vaccine acceptance, continuous immunization communication training for health workers is recommended.
