Inspiring young minds: the Microbiology Kids Club in Mozambique.

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
The Microbiology Kids Club is an initiative designed to foster early interest in microbiology among children aged 5 to 16 years in Mozambique. Through hands-on activities such as microscopy, pipetting and artistic exploration, the program introduces participants to key microbiological concepts, sparking curiosity and promoting an understanding of microbiology's role in our daily lives. The first edition of the club successfully engaged 100 children from Maputo City, while the second involved 60 children from Marracuene District, resulting in improved comprehension of microbial sciences. Positive feedback from participants, teachers, and community members emphasized the program's importance in children's education. These outcomes highlight the program's potential to promote scientific literacy in Mozambique, with plans to expand into rural areas to broaden access to microbiology education.
