1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Drinking water is one of life's most basic need, and people all around the developing world confront irregular water supplies. Still, more than one billion people globally do not have secure water supply and these leads to increasing the risk of death and incurring large costs in the prevention of water-borne diseases. There are limited knowledge on actual water availability in Ethiopia. Therefore, this study was aimed determining basic water availability and its associated factors in Ethiopia. This research used 2016 Ethiopian demographic health survey data. Because of the hierarchical and clustering nature of the data, a mixed effect multilevel logistic regression model was used. In this study, the prevalence of basic drinking water availability in Ethiopia is 51.16% (95% CI 50.04-52.27%). Based on the analysis result, the household head age between 46 and 65 [AOR = 4.08, 95% CI 1.64-10.17], household heads having middle-income level (AOR = 1.22, 95% CI 1.00-1.50), being rural communities [AOR = 4.32, 95% CI 3.07-9.57] and large central regions (AOR = 2.08, 95% CI 1.17-3.68) were significant factors. The magnitude of basic drinking water availability among households in Ethiopia is low. Exploring alternative water sources is important to reduce water interruptions.
