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
introductionEthiopia has been implementing community-based health insurance programs since 2011 to improve health care financing system. However, the prevalence of household willingness to join the community-based health insurance (CBHI) program and its associated factors are less explored in urban area. Therefore, this study was aimed to assess the prevalence of willingness to join community-based health insurance program and its associated factors among households in Nekemte City, Ethiopia.
methodsA community-based cross-sectional study was conducted on 422 randomly selected households in Nekemte City, Ethiopia. Bivariate and multivariable analyses were performed to see the association between the independent and outcome variables using binary logistic regression model. Association was described using an adjusted odd ratio (AOR) and a 95% confidence interval (CI). Finally, p-value < 0.05 was considered the cut-off point for declaring a significant.
resultsAmong 422 study participants, 320 (75.83%) [95% CI = 71.5-79.8%)] of the households were willing to join community-based health insurance program. The willingness to join for community-based health insurance was 3.11 times more likely among households who were in the richest quintile (AOR = 3.11; 95% CI = 1.08-8.93), 3.4 times more likely among those who were merchants (AOR = 3.40;1.33, 8.69), 2.52 times more likely among those who had history of chronic illness in the household (AOR = 2.52; 95% CI = 1.43-4.45), 4.09 times more likely among those who had the awareness about the scheme (AOR = 4.09; 95% CI = 1.97-8.47) and 3.29 times more likely among those who had the experience of borrow for medical care (AOR = 3.29; 95% CI = 1.48-7.30).
conclusionNearly three fourth of the households were willing to join community-based health insurance program, however, about one fourth of households were not willing, which is a significant public health problem. Being merchant, having awareness about the scheme, being in the richest wealth quintile, having experience of borrowing for medical care, and having history of chronic illness in the household were factors found to be significantly associated with willingness to join community based health insurance in the study area. Therefore, strengthening awareness creation at community level about the benefit package and principle of the program would increase their demand for the community-based health insurance scheme.
