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
Implementation of prevention measures is essential for decreasing COVID-19 morbidity and mortality. In health care settings, wearing face masks, avoiding handshakes and spitting, and thoroughly washing hands with soap and water or using an alcohol-based hand rub have been recommended as preventive measures to reduce the risk of COVID-19 transmission. Therefore, this study aimed to assess factors associated with COVID-19 prevention practices among health care workers at Dilla university hospital in Southern Ethiopia. An institutional-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 238 health care workers in Dilla university hospital from June 13, 2021- July 12, 2021. A stratified random sampling techniques were used to select study participants. Data were collected by using pre-tested structured self-administered questionnaires. A binary logistic regression analysis was used to identify factors related to COVID-19 prevention practice among health care professionals. For statistical significance factors with p-value less than 0.05, an Adjusted Odds Ratio (AOR) with a 95% Confidence Interval (CI) was calculated and interpreted. One hundred thirty-four participants [56.3%, 95% CI: 50 - 60.3%] had good COVID-19 prevention practices. Being a frontline worker [AOR=12.6, 95% CI: 3.9-41.6], being female [AOR= 0.7, 95% CI: 0.35-0.84], being a nurse [AOR= 8, 95% CI: 2.4-27], and implementation of Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) guideline [AOR = 4.0, 95% CI: 1.56-10.08] were all factors associated with good COVID-19 prevention practice. COVID-19 prevention practices were low among healthcare professionals in the study settings. Being frontline worker, being a nurse, being female, and implementation of IPC guidelines were all associated with COVID-19 preventive measures practices among health care workers. Health care workers may need to improve the way and habit of practicing prevention methods towards COVID-19.
