Recognition and reporting of neglected tropical diseases by primary health care workers in Ibadan, Nigeria.

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
introductionneglected tropical diseases (NTDs) are serious public health problem worldwide. Primary healthcare (PHC) workers are important in the prevention and control of these diseases. Accurate diagnosis and timely reporting are essential for effective public health response. The study assessed the knowledge of PHC workers on NTDs and identified factors influencing its recognition and reporting.
methodsthe study was a hospital based cross-sectional survey. A multistage sampling technique was used to select 327 healthcare workers from sixty-six PHC facilities in Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria. A semi-structured, self-administered questionnaire was used to elicit information on respondent´s socio-demographic characteristics, knowledge, recognition and reporting of NTDs. Data analysis were done using independent sample t-test, analysis of variance and logistic regression with p-value set at 0.05.
resultsone hundred and eighty seven (57.2%) respondents had good knowledge of NTDs. The NTDs most known were; Schistosomiasis (78%), Rabies (64.5%), and Onchocerciasis (57.2%). Urban healthcare workers had higher knowledge score on NTDs (p= 0.018). Young age (AOR= 3.40, CI= 1.20 -9.63), length of practice (AOR=4.65, CI= 1.20-18.09) and previous training on NTDs (AOR = 7.09, CI= 3.15 - 15.93) significantly predicted NTDs recognition, while availability of reporting forms (AOR= 3.17, CI=1.07 - 9.35), training on disease reporting (AOR= 3.41, CI= 11.17 - 9.92) and feedback on previous diseases reported (AOR= 4.12, CI= 1.32-12.80) were significant predictors of reporting NTDs.
conclusionthe healthcare workers knowledge on NTDs was inadequate. Periodic training and continued education on NTDs are recommended. PHC workers also require supportive supervision.
