Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices for the Prevention and Vector Control of Dengue in a Colombian Rural Population: A Mixed Method Study.
Article in SAGE open nursing. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Introduction: Dengue fever is a viral disease of public health concern. Adequate knowledge and self-care practices are the most effective strategies for vector control. Objective: To describe the knowledge, attitudes, and practices for the prevention and vector control of dengue. Methods: Mixed method study. A total of 283 residents in a Colombian rural population were studied. Relative and absolute frequency measures were used for statistical analysis of study variables; emergent categories were identified for qualitative data. Results: 73% were women, 60% were housewives, and 37% had completed primary education. Both knowledge and attitudes presented low percentages in relation to the characteristics of the vector. Regarding practices, 76% did not have a positive disposition toward the use of mosquito nets. Participants perceived problems related to waste management, lack of education, and the presence of mosquitoes in covered water tanks. Conclusion: The inhabitants of the surveyed population demonstrated acceptable knowledge with respect to dengue control practices; however, they neglected sources of risk in their immediate environment.
