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.

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 Bukavu city is facing sanitation challenges, with many reported cases of epidemics such as cholera, salmonellosis, and other infectious diseases. Food and water sold under poor sanitation conditions are exposed to potential contamination by pathogenic bacteria. Consumers are therefore at risk of contracting bacterial infections, which could increase the burden of infectious diseases. Solid waste and wastewater management is unsatisfactory in Bukavu city. Few scientific investigations have been conducted to assess the influence of environmental conditions on food and water contamination. For these reasons, this study aimed to investigate the quality of food sold in restaurants and on the streets, as well as the types of water and milk produced and consumed, since food safety and environmental sanitation remain major public health challenges in Bukavu city.
