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
objectiveDengue fever is a rapidly spreading viral disease transmitted by mosquitoes, and it is becoming a global concern. This study aimed to assess the awareness, attitude, and performance of the people in Hormozgan province in carrying out preventive behaviors and dengue fever control methods.
methodThis descriptive-analytical study was conducted in 1401 in Bandar Abbas, Iran. A total of 642 men and women participated in the study, and a researcher-made questionnaire was used to collect data on demographic information, awareness, attitude, and performance. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics.
findingsThe study included 642 citizens of Bandar Abbas, with the majority being male. The average scores for awareness, attitude, and performance were relatively low, indicating insufficient knowledge and weak preventive behaviors regarding dengue fever.
conclusionThe findings suggest a need for educational programs to increase awareness and preventive behaviors among the citizens, especially in essential areas such as protected coverage against mosquito bites and inspection of water accumulation sites in homes. It is also important for health centers and mass media to provide more information and education about dengue fever and its prevention.
