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.

Abstract
Background: Provision of sexual and reproductive health services has an important impact on the adolescents standard of life. Healthcare workers interactions with clients has been highlighted as one of the main barriers keeping adolescents from seeking sexual and reproductive health services. This study aimed to assess the Healthcare workers' attitudes and factors affecting provision of sexual and reproductive health services in the Nakivale, Kyaka II, and Rwamwanja refugee settlements. Methods: This was a cross-sectional quantitative study in which healthcare workers from public and private health facilities refugee communities in south-western Uganda responded to a questionnaire. Binary logistic regression was done to assess the baseline characteristics associated with provision of these services using SPSS version 26. Results: Of the 386 medical professionals enrolled, 194(50.3%) were females with a mean age of 30.9 years (SD = 6.9). The services that were most commonly offered were contraception counselling/provision (81.3%) and comprehensive sexuality education provision (75.1%). The least offered services were safe abortion care (40.9%). The good attitudes were highest towards comprehensive sexuality education and antenatal, intrapartum plus postnatal care while the bad attitudes were highest toward safe abortion care. Residence, designation and type of facility had a significant association with offering of the different services ( Conclusion: In this study, majority of the study participants had a good attitude towards comprehensive sexuality education provision and antenatal, intrapartum and postnatal care while the bad attitudes were highest toward safe abortion care. More efforts are still required toward provision of safe abortion care and harmful traditional practices prevention. This will be achieved by providing training which will be vital in improving knowledge and attitude toward these services. The training should be more focused on the older professionals and non-councilors.
