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
backgroundMaternal health services were among the services provided by health extension workers, but the utilization of these services remains inadequate in Ethiopia. Therefore, this study aimed to study women’s satisfaction and related factors with health extension service in Hawassa City, Sidama region, Southern Ethiopia.
objectiveThis study aimed to assess women’s satisfaction with health services provided by health extension workers and its associated factors in Hawassa City.
methodA community-based cross-sectional study was conducted from August 1/2022 – September 1/2022 in Hawassa city. A multistage sampling technique was used to allocate 363 study participants. Data were checked for completeness and consistency, then, coded and entered into Epidata version 4.6, exported to the SPSS, IBM version 26. Descriptive statistics was used to describe the study variables. In the bivariable analysis, variables with P-Value < 0.25 were considered candidates for multivariable analysis, and significance was declared at P-Value < 0.05.
resultFrom 355 samples, 353 women participated in the survey with a 99% response rate. The overall proportion of women satisfied with health extension services was 51.8% with a 95% CI (46.9–56.8%). Two hundred fifty-nine (73.4%) of mothers used family planning services and 248(70.3%) participants were exposed to Maternal and child health services. Above secondary education AOR = 2.4; 95% CI (1.1–5.1), Husband occupation AOR = 15; 95% CI:7–33) and being model family AOR = 2.43; 95% CI:1.02–5.6) had higher odds of satisfaction with health extension services.
conclusionIn the research area, women’s satisfaction with health extension services was low compared to other national studies. A husband’s job, having a better education, and being a model household were all positively correlated with their level of satisfaction. To maximize women’s satisfaction training and certifying model households was essential.
