Effectiveness of a Theory-Based Intervention in Improving Bacillus Calmette-Guérin Uptake and Preventive Practices of Childhood Tuberculosis Among Pregnant Women: Protocol for a Randomized Control Trial.
Trial report in JMIR research protocols, 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
Background: Tuberculosis (TB) in children is one of the most significant public health crises in Somalia. This issue is aggravated by the fact that only 36.7% of children aged 12 to 23 months receive the Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccine in Somalia, which helps prevent TB-disseminated diseases. Among the major factors that contribute to poor BCG uptake and TB prevention practices are the lack of maternal knowledge, negative attitude, and poor self-efficacy toward the BCG vaccine and TB prevention practices. As such, pregnant women play a vital role in ensuring timely, routine BCG vaccination for their newborns and adherence to TB prevention practices. Objective: This study aims to develop, implement, and evaluate the impact of health education intervention using the information-motivation-behavioral (IMB) skills model to improve knowledge, attitudes, and self-efficacy regarding BCG uptake and TB prevention among pregnant women in Banadir Hospital. Methods: This single-blind randomized controlled trial enrolled a sample of 370 pregnant women recruited at Banadir Hospital in Mogadishu, Somalia. Eligible participants will be randomized to an intervention group receiving an IMB-based health education and to a waiting list control group, in a 1:1 ratio. Outcome assessments will be conducted at baseline, 2-month follow-up, and 4-month follow-up. The primary outcomes are BCG vaccine uptake and TB prevention practices. Secondary outcomes include knowledge, attitudes, and self-efficacy related to the BCG vaccine and TB prevention practices. The IMB-based health education intervention program consists of 6 sessions, with 1 group per session, and with each session containing 30 participants. The effects of the intervention will be assessed by handing out the same self-administered questionnaires at baseline, 2-month postintervention, and 4-month postintervention. Results: A total of 370 pregnant women were recruited at baseline in November 2021, with 185 assigned to the intervention group and 185 assigned to the control group. In January 2022, the 185 pregnant women enrolled in the intervention program and completed the sessions by February 2022. Data collection for the 2-month and 4-month postintervention assessments was completed in June 2022. The findings of this study will be reported by the beginning of 2026. Conclusions: The developed health education intervention module in this study has the potential to be adopted and included as part of routine antenatal care services. Its implementation could effectively raise awareness among pregnant women in Somalia regarding the importance of BCG vaccination and TB prevention practices, ultimately mitigating childhood mortality rates associated with TB-disseminated diseases in the country.
