Timely vaccination coverage and associated factors among children aged 12-23 months in Arbaminch Town, Ethiopia, 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
backgroundOn-time vaccination reduces child mortality from vaccine-preventable diseases, an ongoing cause of death in under-five. Vaccination coverage in Ethiopia remains low, and evaluating its timeliness is crucial. However, there is a paucity of data in the study area. Most previous studies focused on maternal and child factors, while father involvement in vaccination is understudied. Therefore, the aim of this study is to assess timely vaccination coverage and associated factors among children aged 12-23 months in Arba Minch town, Ethiopia, 2024.
methodsA community-based cross-sectional study was conducted from January 4 to February 5, 2024, among 568 children aged 12-23 months. Data were collected from their mothers using a structured, interviewer-administered questionnaire. A multistage sampling technique was used to select study participants. Logistic regression analysis was used to identify the factors associated with the outcome variable. Statistical significance was declared at a p-value of < 0.05.
resultsThis study found that 52.8% (95% CI: 48.5% - 57%) of the participants completed vaccinations on-time. Timely vaccination was significantly associated with birth order (AOR = 1.87, CI: 1.11, 3.24), place of delivery (AOR = 3.42, CI: 1.14, 10.2), PNC (AOR = 1.98, CI: 1.27, 3.08), knowledge about vaccination (AOR = 3.03, CI: 1.93, 4.7), vaccine hesitancy (AOR = 2.74, CI: 1.59, 4.74), women's autonomy (AOR = 2.06, CI: 1.32, 3.19), and fathers involvement (AOR = 2.15, CI: 1.35, 3.43).
conclusionThis study found that timely vaccination coverage remains below the national target. To address this, interventions should prioritize children of higher birth orders and emphasize strengthening institutional delivery and PNC utilization. In addition, promoting father's involvement, enhancing women's autonomy, improving knowledge about vaccination, and reducing vaccine hesitancy are essential.
