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
Background: The health services delivery system is debilitated in conflict setting areas due to damage of health facilities and attack on health care providers. Armed conflict is a complex phenomenon which causes a large amount of death and disability worldwide. However, there is lack of information towards treatment interruption among chronic disease patients in conflict areas. Hence, this study was conducted to assess the prevalence of armed conflict induced treatment interruption and its outcome among chronic disease patients. Methods: A mixed cross sectional study design was conducted on a total of 399 sample size at North Wollo and Waghimra zone hospitals. To select study participants a consecutive sampling method was used. Multiple logistic regressions were computed to evaluate the association and thematic analysis was used to analyse qualitative data. Results: From the total 399 study participants, 264 (64.6%) study participants interrupted their medication. Treatment interruption is significantly associated with poor service availability and perceived high stress. Conclusion: War has detrimental health effects, both immediate and long term, on populations. Treatment interruptions due to armed conflict were caused by poor health care access, lack of medications and lack of transport and displacement of hospital staff, insecurity and fear. Treatment interruption results in morbidity, mortality, lifelong complications, disability, psychological and economic impact.
