Beliefs, Practices, and Knowledge of Household Food Handlers Regarding the Impact of Electricity Outages on Food Safety: Findings from a National Cross-Sectional Study in Lebanon.

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
Food safety continues to be a global concern threatening human life, especially in low-income countries where frequent electricity outages pose higher risks to food safety, increasing the risks of foodborne illnesses due to temperature fluctuations. This study aimed to assess the consumer's knowledge of food safety, beliefs, and household practices during electricity cut-off. A cross-sectional study among consumers in Lebanon was conducted using an online survey (n = 571). Results revealed that food handlers in Lebanon had unsatisfactory food safety knowledge levels along with poor food safety beliefs and practices. The findings also showed that good knowledge scores were significantly associated with age, governorate, educational level, a self-reported food safety knowledge score, and the frequency of checking the temperature of fridges/freezers (
