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
Background: In recent years, the Ethiopian government has introduced community-based health insurance (CBHI) schemes to increase healthcare accessibility and affordability. Despite these efforts, enrolment rates remain low, posing challenges to achieving universal health coverage. This study investigates the determinants influencing household enrolment decisions in community-based health insurance within the West Guji Zone, Oromia Regional State, southern Ethiopia, in 2022. Methods and materials: A community-based, unmatched case-control study was conducted among 690 randomly selected households (345 cases and 345 controls) in the West Guji Zone from 15 April to 15 June 2022. Data were collected via a pretested and structured face-to-face interviewer-administered questionnaire. The data were entered into EpiData 3.1 and analyzed via SPSS Version 26. Bivariate and multivariate binary logistic regression models were used to identify the determinants of enrolment decisions in community-based health insurance. An adjusted odds ratio (AOR) with a 95% confidence interval and Results: The findings of this study revealed that factors such as no formal education (AOR = 2.885, 95% CI: 1.252, 6.648), negative perception (AOR = 0.067, 95% CI: 0.040, 0.112), poor and middle wealth index (AOR = 0.307, 95% CI: 0.166, 0.569), community solidarity practices (AOR = 4.266, 95% CI: 2.352, 7.736), trust in the CBHI scheme (AOR = 4.782, 95% CI: 2.926, 7.816), quality of service (AOR = 2.209, 95% CI: 1.324, 3.687), availability of prescribed drugs (AOR = 1.829, 95% CI: 1.102, 3.035), and satisfaction with services (AOR = 3.209, 95% CI: 1.937, 5.315) were identified as significant determinants of CBHI enrolment decisions. Conclusion: This study revealed that a lack of formal education, negative perceptions, and a lower wealth index negatively impact CBHI enrolment. However, community solidarity practices, trust, quality of service, availability of prescribed drugs, and satisfaction positively influence CBHI enrolment. This study highlights the need for targeted interventions to increase community awareness, foster community solidarity at the local level, increase trust in the health system, and increase the affordability of premiums, thereby promoting community-based health insurance enrolment and achieving universal health coverage in Ethiopia.
