Measles Vaccination Timeliness and Associated Factors Among Children Aged 9-24 Months in the Bule Hora District, West Guji Zone, Oromia, Southern Ethiopia.

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: Vaccine timeliness is essential for preventing childhood morbidity and mortality; however, measles vaccination programs are often evaluated based on coverage rather than timeliness. Objectives: This study assessed measles vaccination timeliness and its associated factors among children aged 9-24 months in Bule Hora District, Oromia, Ethiopia. Methods: An institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted from May to June 2024 among 361 mother-child pairs selected using systematic random sampling. Results: Timely vaccination was observed in 54% (95% CI: 49.1%-59.4%) for the first dose and 58% (95% CI: 48.3%-67.3%) for the second dose of measles vaccination. Maternal secondary education, longer travel time to a health facility, and absence of PNC were significantly associated with timely MCV vaccination. Conclusion: The findings indicate suboptimal measles vaccination timeliness and highlight the need to strengthen postnatal care and maternal counseling to improve measles vaccination timeliness.
