1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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: Educating school children about vaccination as a part of health promotion intervention is one of the strategies to improve vaccination acceptance. The aim of this scoping review is to describe the range of school-based education interventions related to vaccination and particularly about efforts to include such education in school curricula. Methods: This systematic scoping review was conducted based on the methodological framework proposed by Arskey and O'Malley. Searches were performed in four databases from Nov 1, 2004 to Nov 30, 2024. Databases were systematically searched for published articles on school education on vaccination. Two independent authors screened the articles followed by data extraction using MS-Excel tool. Results: Out of total identified 18,706 articles, only six articles met the inclusion criteria. All studies were focused on developed countries and most were experimental studies. Interventions were delivered by teachers or researchers and reported general improvements in vaccine knowledge as well as of vaccine-specific interventions. This review documented the outcomes on a curriculum based on immunity and vaccine related concept in school education. The review also highlights the ad hoc approach of health promotion during the vaccine specific knowledge dissemination in school. Conclusion: Formalizing health education could be a long-term strategy for better public health outcomes which face numerous challenges due to vaccine hesitancy or denial. Structured school curriculum on vaccination is warranted to sustain the knowledge on vaccination and its effect on community.
