Temporal trends of vaccination coverage in children under five in Brazil, 1998-2024.
Article in BMC public health, 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
introductionVaccination coverage is an important indicator of the population's protection against vaccine-preventable diseases, and the World Health Organization warns of the existence of 25 million children worldwide with incomplete vaccination schedules, with a significant portion of them in Brazil.
objectiveThis study aims to analyze the time-series trends of vaccination coverage for 12 vaccines targeting children under five years of age in Brazil, between 1998 and 2024.
methodsThis is an ecological time-series study using official data from the information system of the Brazilian National Immunization Program. Temporal trend analyses were conducted using simple linear regression models.
resultsThe yellow fever vaccine exhibited a statistically significant increasing temporal trend but remained below the target set by the Ministry of Health throughout the study period. In contrast, the BCG vaccine demonstrated a significant decreasing temporal trend. The trends for the other ten evaluated vaccines could not be established, as they lacked statistical significance.
conclusionThe results show that 11 of the 12 studied vaccines are below the Ministry of Health's target, making it evident that urgent measures must be taken to change this scenario.
