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: While Uganda has made significant strides towards the 2030 Agenda, several development challenges persist, including a high disease burden, poverty and the effects of climate change. Multisectoral collaboration is critical in achieving Uganda's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs); however, most sectors in the country still operate in isolation. Understanding the linkages between the goals in Uganda is critical for accelerating progress on health and the SDGs. This study aimed at taking initial steps in investigating the linkages between health and other SDGs in Uganda. Methods: A 2-day workshop with 29 multisectoral stakeholders was conducted to explore the nature of linkages between the SDGs nationally in Uganda. Results were analysed using the SDG synergies approach and presented using a cross-impact matrix to show the nature and strength of linkages between the goals. Results: Overall, there were more positive linkages between the SDGs than negative ones. Progress on SDG 10 (reduced inequalities) was considered to have the most positive influence on the 2030 Agenda. SDG 3 (good health and well-being) was the goal that was perceived to be most positively affected if progress was made on other goals. The economic goals, SDG 8 (decent work and economic growth) and SDG 9 (industry, innovation and infrastructure) were the goals that promoted other goals the least. Negative linkages were perceived between SDG 13 (climate action) and the economic goals (SDG 8; SDG 9). Conclusion: The findings reveal that promoting linkages were perceived to be the majority, but some restricting linkages between the SDGs also exist. The promoting linkages suggest a need for integrated approaches in attaining SDG 3 and other SDGs in Uganda. Further addressing inequalities in their different forms, policy reforms, local community engagements and continuous monitoring are critical for sustainable development in Uganda.
