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 aim of this study was to determine the perspective and utilization of e-Health services among healthcare workers in primary, secondary and tertiary health care centers in Benin city. Methodology: This was a descriptive cross-sectional study conducted among healthcare workers in Benin-City where the minimum sample size required for the study was calculated using the Cochrane formula (n= zpq2 /d2). Data was collected using an online semi structured questionnaire and data analysis was carried out using IBM SPSS version 22 software with p < 0.05 considered statistically significant. Results: A total of 340 respondents participated in this study where the mean age was 31.5 ± 7.1 years and majority of the respondents 327 (96.2%) had good knowledge of eHealth whereabout two third 216 (63.5%) of the respondents had ever used eHealth services. Majority 308 (90.6%) of the healthcare workers highlighted non-availability of ICT facilities as a challenge to the implementation and utilization of eHealth services. Proposed solutions to the above challenges include government support/funding 206 (60.6%) and ICT education 186 (54.7%). Conclusion: The lack of ICT facilities was stated as the main challenge to the implementation and utilization of eHealth services although majority of the respondents had good knowledge of eHealth. Proposed solutions to the challenge include government support/funding, free ICT education of health workers and Public Private Partnerships to support eHealth systems in health facilities.
