Evaluating the effect of an audiovisual intervention on routine immunization knowledge among urban frontline healthcare workers in Eastern India.
Article in BMC health services research, 2026. 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
backgroundRoutine immunization (RI) plays a pivotal role in preventing vaccine-preventable diseases (VPDs). This study assessed an audiovisual educational intervention aimed at strengthening RI knowledge among urban frontline healthcare workers (FHWs) in Deoghar, Jharkhand.
methodsA quasi-experimental interventional study conducted in April 2024 at the Urban Primary Health Centre (UPHC), Kalyanpur, involved 45 FHWs. A validated 55-item questionnaire (Cronbach’s alpha: 0.802–0.852) assessed pre- and post-intervention knowledge on RI topics, including the National Immunization Schedule, cold chain management, biomedical waste disposal, and immunization myths.
resultsThe mean knowledge scores increased significantly from 29.0 ± 9.8 (corresponding to 52.7% correct responses) pre-intervention to 44.8 ± 6.8 (corresponding to 81.4% correct responses) post-intervention, with a mean difference of 15.8 ± 5.2 (28.7%, p < 0.001) and a large effect size (Cohen’s d = 3.0, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.3–3.7). Knowledge improved significantly across domains, including vaccine efficacy, minor adverse effect management, and key messages for beneficiaries. In the multiple linear regression analysis, higher educational levels (unstandardized beta [B] = 3.59, standard error [SE] = 1.27, p = 0.008) and prior training on RI (B = 6.61, SE = 1.85, p = 0.001) emerged as independent predictors of knowledge gain, collectively accounting for 53.2% of the variability in outcomes.
conclusionThe audiovisual intervention significantly improved RI knowledge among FHWs, with higher education levels and prior training as independent predictors of knowledge gain. Further research is needed to assess scalability and the impact of knowledge improvement on practice and immunization service delivery. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
