Universal immunization program in India: a review of childhood vaccine updates over the last decade (2014-2024).
Review in IJID regions, 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
Objectives: Immunization is a cornerstone of public health, protecting children from life-threatening, yet preventable diseases. Established as the Expanded Programme on Immunization in 1978, India's Universal Immunization Programme is the largest in the world and has undergone major transformations over the decades. This narrative review provides an overview of key developments in childhood immunization in India during the last decade (2014-2024). Methods: A literature search of PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar was conducted to identify relevant English-language publications from January 2014 to December 2024. Results: The review examines four major dimensions: the introduction of new childhood vaccines under the Universal Immunization Programme; trends in vaccination coverage and persistent inequities in access; the implications of the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic on routine immunization; and recent advances in childhood vaccination within the Indian context. Conclusion: Collectively, these findings highlight India's substantial progress toward universal immunization, while underscoring the continuing challenges in achieving equitable, resilient, and sustainable vaccine delivery systems.
