Factors Associated with Missed Opportunities for Vaccination in Children During the First Year of Life: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in Vaccines, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundAddressing Missed Opportunities for Vaccination (MOV) contributes to increased vaccination rates in children, reinforcing the need to investigate and intervene in the related factors.
objectiveTo analyze factors associated with missed opportunities for vaccination in children under one year of age in a Brazilian capital.
methodsThis was a cross-sectional, analytical study conducted in seven Basic Health Units in Teresina, Piauí, Brazil. A previously validated questionnaire was applied to parents or guardians of a sample of 316 children. Data were collected from March to June 2025. Multivariable Logistic Regression was performed, and results were expressed as Odds Ratios.
resultsAmong the children, 53.5% had at least one MOV. The associated factors were: parents with two or more children (95% CI: 1.06-2.96), false contraindications (95% CI: 1.29-8.73), inadequate assessment of vaccination cards by health professionals (95% CI: 1.78-29.00), vaccine shortages in health units (95% CI: 1.57-18.28), and refusal to open multidose vaccine vials (95% CI: 1.81-19.31). Receiving information about vaccination in the previous month was a protective factor against MOV (95% CI: 0.25-0.77). The vaccines most frequently contributing to MOV were BCG (15.8%) and the COVID-19 vaccine, with 15.5% for the first dose and 14.9% for the second.
conclusionsThe high prevalence of MOV found in this study indicates weaknesses in the immunization process and suggests the need for implementing measures to interrupt the chain of causes leading to MOV, thereby contributing to the achievement of the objectives of the Brazilian National Immunization Program.
