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
Iodine deficiency and subsequent iodine deficiency disorders have been a longstanding problem in many areas of the world, including Sudan, and still remains as the leading cause of preventable brain damage. According to the Sudan Household Health Survey, in 2006, the consumption of iodized salt in Sudan was 11%, only to deteriorate later on in 2011 to 9.5%. This is a descriptive cross sectional study which assesses the knowledge, attitude, and practice regarding the use of iodized salt in two socioeconomically different residential areas, Al-Riyadh and Al-Ozozab, Khartoum city, Sudan. From total of 152 participants selected from Al-Riyadh and Al-Ozozab areas (50% from each), there were 87 (57 %) females. Participants from Al-Riyadh had a higher educational and income level than those from Al-Ozozab, and better knowledge regarding the importance of regular iodized salt consumption to treat iodine deficiency (61% and 54%, respectively). However, only 39% of the participants were actually buying iodized salt. There was a significant relationship between residency and buying of iodized salt among the participants from Al-Riyadh (49%) and Al-Ozozab (30%) areas (
