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
Introduction: Catheter-associated urinary tract infection Objective: This study aimed to assess KAP and associated factors toward the prevention of CAUTI among nurses in public hospitals in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, in 2021. Methods: An institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted among nurses from March 1 to April 30, 2021, in five public hospitals in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. A total of 344 nurses were chosen for the study using a systematic random sampling technique. Data were collected using knowledge, attitude, and practice toward the prevention of CAUTI questionnaires. Data were entered into Epi Data 4.2 and exported into SPSS 25 for analysis. Binary and multivariate logistic regression were performed, and the statistical significance of associations between the variables was determined using odds ratios with a 95% confidence interval and Results: The study included 344 nurses, with a 97.7% response rate. Of the total nurses, 42.7% had good knowledge, 48.0% had a positive attitude, and 54.9% had good practice toward the prevention of CAUTI. Being married, having guidelines, and having a positive attitude were associated with good knowledge, whereas being married, having good knowledge, and having good practice were associated with a positive attitude toward the prevention of CAUTI. Having a high monthly income, having guidelines, having good knowledge, and having a positive attitude were associated with good practices toward the prevention of CAUTI. Conclusion: The findings of this study show that nurses have a low level of knowledge, a negative attitude, and poor practice toward the prevention of CAUTI. Factors such as marital status, monthly income, and having guidelines in the working unit were associated with KAP toward the prevention of CAUTI. Therefore, the Ministry of Health and Hospital Interventions focused on these findings are required to improve KAP toward the prevention of CAUTI among nurses.
