Physicians' degree of awareness regarding the risks, clinical practices, and management challenges of nosocomial legionnaires' disease: A cross-sectional study from two Ethiopian hospitals.
Article in SAGE open medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Objectives: Methods: We employed a cross-sectional survey design, utilizing a self-administered questionnaire to collect data from 374 practicing physicians at two specialized hospitals in Addis Ababa. Results: A total of 324 questionnaires were returned, yielding a response rate of 86.6%. Eighty percent ( Conclusions: This study highlights physicians' limited awareness of the risks posed by hospital water systems in the transmission of Legionnaires' disease. Additionally, the diagnosis of Legionnaires' disease is impeded by the lack of clinical guidelines and specific diagnostic testing capabilities. These findings underscore the urgent need to revise hospital-acquired pneumonia protocols, strengthen infection prevention and control guidelines, and enhance hospital water management practices.
