1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Good hand-washing practice is the most important preventive measure to reduce the spread of communicable disease to under-five children. Prior studies on good handwashing practice at critical times among mothers of children under-five age in Ethiopia were extremely varied. Therefore, this meta-analysis aimed to assess the overall proportion of good handwashing practice at critical times and identify the associated factors in Ethiopia. A comprehensive search of relevant studies was performed using distinct databases. Data were extracted using Microsoft Excel spreadsheet, and exported to Stata-MPv-17 for analysis. A random-effect model was used to estimate the overall proportion of good hand-washing practice at critical times. A random or fixed effects model was used to compute the pooled AORs with their 95% Cis, which were presented on a forest plot.
