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
backgroundA board member was an important bridge to accelerate a day-to-day health care quality in a routine clinical activity at health institutions. They are significant in planning and examine integrated governance systems that encourage quality of care and accountability. So, the current research was planned to identify the level of engagement of the board members in health care quality and factors associated.
methodsA facility-based cross-sectional study was implemented among 250 board members and data were collected by self-administered questionnaire at selected governing health centers in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia from May 1 to 30, 2018. A simple random sampling technique was used to reach the study participants. Data were entered using EpiData 3.1 software and analysis was done using SPSS 23. Adjusted odds ratio with 95% confidence interval and p-value < 0.05 was used to declare statistical significance. The level of board members' engagement was found to be low which implies that the board members do not give appropriate attention to the quality of care.
resultsGood level of engagement of board members was (50.9%) [AOR=7.11, 95% CI (3.07-16.47)]. Most of the governing board members did not engage in the quality of health care activities. Uses quality data as a basis for recognition [AOR=7.11, 95% CI (3.07-16.47)], review a quality scorecard or dashboard [AOR=10.83, 95% CI (3.75-31.29)], establishing goals relating to staff satisfaction [AOR=15.42, 95% CI (6.14-38.75)] and receiving formal training [AOR=3.42, 95% CI (1.35 -8.62)], having a strategy relating to communication with clients [AOR= 4.95, 95% CI (2.02-12.15)] and spending more than 20% [AOR=11.96, 95% CI (3.27-43.83)], received training on healthcare disparities [AOR=3.81, 95% CI (1.40-10.36)], and having a plan on quality [AOR=16.38 95% CI (5.39-49.72)] were found to be significant predictors of level of board member engagement.
conclusionCollectively, most of the governing board members did not engage in the quality of health care activities. Stakeholders should work on capacity building for board members using training and further follow-up. Encouraging them to put quality health services at the forefront of their agenda during their involvement at their respective facilities.
