Cost-effectiveness evaluation of a radio campaign to improve full vaccination coverage among children under-five in Ethiopia.
Trial report in BMC public health, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04913714 (10+10+30 Infant Vaccines Communication Via Radio in Ethiopia), 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
backgroundAchieving timely childhood vaccination is a challenge in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). A three-month intervention called 10 + 10 + 30 involved 10-minute serial radio drama on vaccination, 10-minute community health worker discussion, and a 30-minute phone-in by listeners was implemented in Jimma Zone, Ethiopia. The goal was to increase childhood vaccination and improve child health outcomes. There is limited evidence of the cost-effectiveness of a radio-only intervention on childhood vaccination in LMICs. Thus, the aim of this study was to examine the cost-effectiveness of 10 + 10 + 30 radio campaign.
methodsA scenario modeling design using evidence from a quasi-experimental trial in two districts of Jimma Zone in Ethiopia. The priority populations were all under-five children living in Ethiopia in 2021. The main outcome measures were the proportion of incremental full childhood vaccination coverage, total number of lives saved (mortality avoided), and cost per disability-adjusted life years averted.
resultsFrom an estimated unit campaign cost of about US$0.04 per child, we projected a 134% increase in full vaccination coverage, equivalent to an additional 8 million fully vaccinated under-five children. If implemented at scale, the intervention had the potential to reduce under-five mortality by about 32%, corresponding to 288,000 lives saved and an estimated cost per averted disability-adjusted life year (DALY) of US$78.
conclusionThe study provides evidence to show that a radio vaccination campaign at scale in Ethiopia may have the potential to increase full childhood vaccination coverage, reduce under-five mortality and be cost-effective in terms of averted DALYs.
