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

objectiveLack of sanitation affecting billions of people worldwide is a serious public health problem of Ethiopia. So, we aimed at examining the influence of community interventions on households' latrine ownership status in Northwest Ethiopia.

resultsThe proportion of households owning latrines were 47% (95% CI 42.5, 52.0). Community Lead Total Sanitation practice in the kebele [AOR = 1.78, 95% CI (1.57, 2.03)], health facilities available in the village [AOR = 2.37, 95% CI (2.14, 2.64)], and increased educational attainment of the head of the household were statistically significantly associated with households' latrine ownership. So, we recommend expansion of community interventions for those who are not yet reached.
