Effectiveness of the influenza and Tdap vaccination educational module (InTroDuce-Programme) on knowledge and intention for antenatal vaccination: A cluster randomised controlled trial protocol among pregnant women in Malaysian primary care clinics.
Article in PloS one, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06815250 (Effectiveness of the Influenza and Tdap), which is not on this 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.

Abstract
backgroundVaccination during pregnancy represents a critical public health strategy to safeguard both mothers and infants against infections such as influenza and pertussis. However, uptake remains suboptimal both globally and in Malaysia, with influenza vaccine coverage persistently low and limited awareness of Tdap recommendations. These gaps are of concern given the heightened risk of severe illness and adverse pregnancy outcomes among pregnant women, and the vulnerability of infants under two months to pertussis-related morbidity and mortality.
aimsThis study aims to develop, implement, and evaluate the effectiveness of a theory-driven digital education module (InTroDuce-Programme) in improving maternal knowledge, attitudes, and intention to receive influenza and Tdap vaccines during pregnancy.
methodsThis is a cluster randomised controlled trial to be conducted between 15 July 2025 and 14 July 2027 across four public primary care clinics in Hulu Langat, Malaysia. Two clinics will be randomly allocated to the intervention arm and two to the control arm. A total of approximately 351 pregnant women aged 18 years or older and up to 27 weeks' gestation will be recruited. The intervention group will receive the InTroDuce-Programme, a web-based video module in Bahasa Melayu, delivered during antenatal visits, while the control group will receive standard care. Data will be collected at baseline, immediately post-intervention (intervention group only), and one-month follow-up using a validated questionnaire. Primary outcomes are changes in vaccination knowledge and intention to vaccinate. Secondary outcomes include attitudes, perceived barriers, and associations with sociodemographic and clinical factors. Data will be analysed using descriptive statistics and Generalised Estimating Equations to account for cluster effects and repeated measures.
conclusionsThis study will provide context-specific evidence on whether a digital, culturally tailored, Health Belief Model-based intervention can improve maternal vaccination literacy and intention in Malaysia. If effective, the InTroDuce-Programme could be integrated into routine antenatal care and inform broader maternal immunisation strategies in similar middle-income settings.
