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
Immunization is a critical and cost-effective public health intervention, yet Somalia continues to face low coverage and high child mortality. This study assessed maternal satisfaction with childhood immunization services and its associated factors in Mogadishu, Somalia. A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted from September to November 2024 among 400 mothers or caregivers whose children received immunization. Data were collected using a structured interviewer-administered questionnaire covering socio-demographics, access, process-related experiences, and satisfaction, and analyzed using SPSS version 24. Logistic regression was employed to identify factors associated with maternal satisfaction. Overall, 49.3% of mothers were satisfied with the immunization services. In the multivariable logistic regression, several factors were significantly associated with maternal satisfaction. Mothers residing outside Mogadishu had higher odds of satisfaction compared to those residing within the city (AOR = 5.677; 95% CI: 2.057-15.707). Male children were associated with higher odds of maternal satisfaction compared to females (AOR = 1.690; 95% CI: 1.057-2.701). Children of second or third birth order had lower odds of maternal satisfaction than first-borns (AOR = 0.383; 95% CI: 0.209-0.700). Mothers with primary education (AOR = 0.293; 95% CI: 0.171-0.503) and high school education (AOR = 0.217; 95% CI: 0.078-0.602) had lower odds of satisfaction compared to those with no formal education. Finally, mothers who were self-employed had higher odds of satisfaction compared to housewives (AOR = 5.678; 95% CI: 2.310-13.954). The findings underscore the need to strengthen caregiver education, address service disparities, and enhance communication for improved immunization outcomes.
