Perceived risk and protective behaviors related to COVID-19 among the Nigerian general population: An application of the extended parallel process model.
Article in Scientific African, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
Since the outbreak of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), there have been heightened levels of fear worldwide. The steadily increasing number of COVID-19 cases in Nigeria as reported by the Nigerian center for Disease Control has led to different behavioral responses influenced by perceived threat and efficacy. This study aimed to understand the levels of perceived threat and efficacy to COVID-19 in Nigeria across various demographic groups using the Extended Parallel Process Model. This was a cross-sectional study conducted across all states in Nigeria, between May and June 2020. The majority of respondents were recruited via social media, with a smaller fraction interviewed face to face due to Government restrictions on movement in some states. Based on findings, respondents had high exposure to COVID-19 messages on social media (85%), followed by television (67%), radio (54%), and the Nigeria center for Disease Control short message services (52%). High exposure to COVID-19 messages across all media platforms was significantly associated with perceived severity, response efficacy, and self-efficacy (
