1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Somalia reports low overall immunization rates; the 2020 Somalia Demographic and Health Survey (SDHS) indicated that overall BCG vaccination coverage for children under five years of age was only 37.0%. However, coverage specifically for newborns and early infants remains underexplored. This study assessed the determinants of BCG vaccination among infants aged 0-2 months. Secondary data from the 2020 SDHS were analyzed for 457 mother - infant pairs. Descriptive statistics and multivariable logistic regression were used to identify factors associated with BCG uptake. BCG coverage was 79.7% (95% CI: 75.8%-83.2%). Infants in nomadic communities (OR = 0.18,
