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: Stigmatizing and discriminatory attitudes have been reported as factors militating against the control of the spread of HIV infection and ending the HIV epidemic. Women of reproductive age identified as a vulnerable group to HIV infection require comprehensive knowledge of HIV transmission and prevention to prevent contracting HIV infection. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the association between reproductive-age women's comprehensive knowledge of HIV transmission and prevention and their stigmatizing and discriminatory attitudes toward individuals living with HIV/AIDS. Methodology: Secondary data from the 2018 Nigerian Demographic and Health Survey was used for this study. We used in each analysis a weighted sample of women of reproductive age with complete data on the comprehensive knowledge of HIV transmission and prevention and stigmatizing and discriminatory attitudes towards persons living with HIV/AIDS. Bivariable and multivariable logistic regression analysis was done to predict the effects of the comprehensive knowledge of HIV transmission and prevention of women of reproductive age on their stigmatizing and discriminatory attitudes toward persons living with HIV/AIDS. Predictor variables with a p-value of ≤ 0.05 were considered statistically significant determinants of HIV/AIDS stigmatizing and discriminatory attitudes. Results: The number of respondents with HIV/AIDS stigmatizing and discriminatory attitudes was 22821 (77.0%). The multivariable regression models showed that women with an average household wealth index, of Islamic faith, and no access to media were more likely to have positive attitudes toward persons living with HIV at Alpha = .05. Conclusion: Having comprehensive knowledge of HIV transmission and prevention by women of reproductive age did not affect their HIV stigmatizing and discriminatory attitudes towards individuals living with HIV/AIDS differently when compared to those without comprehensive knowledge. The findings that women with no access to media and those with an average household wealth index were more likely to have a positive attitude towards persons living with HIV/AIDS than those with access to media and a rich household wealth index, respectively, require further validation using primary data.
