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: The incidence and fatality rates associated with cervical cancer are continuously decreased by cervical cancer screening. However, in underdeveloped nations such as Ethiopia, very few women have undergone cervical cancer screening. There is a scarcity of nationally summarised data in Ethiopia on women's intention to use cervical cancer screening and its determinants. Therefore, this protocol describes a planned systematic review and meta-analysis that will evaluate the intention to use cervical cancer screening and its predictors among women of childbearing age in Ethiopia. Methods and materials: The online databases of EMBASE, PubMed, CINAHL, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, HINARI, Google Scholar, and African Journals online databases will be comprehensively searched from 1 January 2014 to 31 December 2023. The Joanna Briggs Institute quality rating instrument will be used to assess the quality of the included studies. The STATA V.17 statistical software will be used for data analysis. The inverse variance (I Ethics and dissemination: There is no need for ethical approval. The results will be disseminated to academic beneficiaries and the public.
