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
backgroundIn developing countries, due to improper management of domestic animals' exposures, under-five (U5) children have been affected by diarrhoea. However, there is no evidence that shows the presence of diarrhoea-causing pathogens in the faeces of U5 children and animals residing in the same houses in the Sidama region, Ethiopia.
methodsA laboratory-based matched case-control study was conducted on children aged 6-48 months in the Sidama region of Ethiopia from February to June 2023. The study enrolled 113 cases, and 113 controls visited the selected health facilities during the study period. Faecal specimens from the case and control children and domestic animals were collected using transport media. Data were collected at children-residing homes by interviewing caretakers using the KoboCollect application. The presence of diarrhoea-causing pathogens (
resultsOf the faecal specimens diagnosed, 250 (64.1%) tested positive for one or more pathogens. Faecal specimens from chickens tested more positive for
conclusionThe finding shows that diarrhoea-causing pathogens are transmitted from domestic animals' faeces to children aged 6-48 months in the Sidama region. The improper management of animals' faeces and related factors were the predominant risk factors for diarrhoea.
