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: demand for public prepared food with numerous food handlers creates uncertainties in the quality of safe foods and possible food contamination. This study aimed to ascertain the food safety hygiene practices, and associated factors among public food handlers in Enugu Metropolis, Nigeria. Methodology: This was a cross-sectional study conducted among 400 public food handlers in Enugu Metropolis, Nigeria. Samples were selected using a multistage sampling technique. Data was collected using pretested structured interviewer administered questionnaire and analyzed using percentage, mean and multiple regression. Statistical significance was set at p< 0.05. Results: The mean age of respondents were 31.16 ± 8.242 years. About two - thirds, 66.5% of respondents were found to have good knowledge of food hygiene safety practices. The overall food safety hygiene practice mean score was 80.10 ± 10.25 with 70.5% showing good practice. Environmental safety hygiene had good practice of 35.0% and mean score of 24.17 ± 2.29. The factors which statistically significantly predicted overall food safety practices, F (11, 388) = 42.957, P < 0.0001, R Conclusion: There were good safety hygiene practices except on environmental safety hygiene practices component. Safety training, knowledge level and educational level were the predictors of good practices. Frequent training is most needed to prevent or control food contamination and consequent food borne diseases.
