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
Routine medical checkups are one strategy for detecting and treating noncommunicable diseases early. Despite the effort to prevent and control noncommunicable diseases in Ethiopia, the prevalence of the problem is significantly increasing. The aim of this study was to assess the uptake of routine medical checkups for common noncommunicable diseases and associated factors among healthcare professionals in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, in 2022. Methods: A facility-based cross-sectional study was conducted, enroling 422 healthcare providers in Addis Ababa. A simple random sampling method was used to select study participants. Data entry was made using Epi-data and exported to STATA for further analysis. A binary logistic regression model was used to determine predictors of routine medical checkups. In the multivariable analysis, the adjusted odds ratio along with a 95% confidence interval were determined. Explanatory variables whose Results: The overall uptake of routine medical checkups for common noncommunicable disease was 35.3% (95% CI: 32.34-38.26). Moreover, being married [adjusted odds ratio (AOR)=2.60, 95% CI=1.42-4.76], income level less than 7071 (AOR=3.05, 95% CI=1.23-10.05), absence of chronic medical disease (AOR=0.40, 95% CI=0.18-0.88), good provider commitment (AOR=4.80, 95% CI=1.63-14.05), drinking alcohol (AOR=0.35, 95% CI=0.19-0.65), and poor perception of health status (AOR=2.1, 95% CI=1.01-4.44) were the significant factors. Conclusion: The uptake of routine medical checkups was found to be low, owing to marital status, level of income, perception of health status, drinking alcohol, the absence of chronic medical conditions, and the availability of committed providers, which needs intervention. We recommend using committed providers for noncommunicable diseases and considering fee waivers for healthcare professionals to increase uptake of routine medical checkups.
