Perception of availability and ease of access to COVID-19 vaccination in Nigeria: a cross-sectional study.
Article in The Pan African medical journal, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Introduction: the government of Nigeria, through concerned agencies/authorities, is ensuring a large-scale and equitable distribution of COVID-19 vaccination across the country. To understand how the eligible population accesses these vaccines, we assessed the perception of availability and accessibility of the COVID-19 vaccines in Nigeria. Methods: the study was part of a larger cross-sectional survey conducted in Nigeria between July and August 2021 to understand broader behavioral, social, and access-related drivers of COVID-19 vaccines among healthcare workers (HCW) and non-healthcare workers (NHCWs) using a data tool adapted from the World Health Organization (WHO) guidance on behavioral and social drivers of vaccination. Data was collected from 1548 respondents across 8 Nigerian states using a multistage sampling approach and analyzed descriptively and inferentially, using SPSS Version 20 to understand the perceptions of vaccine availability and accessibility. Results: individual perceptions on the availability of vaccines were significant across two categories (that is, for NHCWs and HCWs) across rural and urban areas (X Conclusion: the study found that respondents' perceptions of vaccine availability and accessibility were mostly influenced by location and recommended more vaccination points across rural and urban communities to improve the COVID-19 vaccination experience.
