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: Due to the rapid spread of monkeypox (Mpox), raising public awareness, ensuring effective information dissemination, and early monitoring of public health are crucial in controlling its transmission. Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess knowledge, attitude, and associated factors towards Mpox infection among residents. Method: A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted from August 17 to September 15, 2024, targeting local residents using a simple random sampling technique. A total sample size of 403 was calculated using a single population proportion formula. Data on Mpox-related knowledge, attitudes, and various socio-demographic factors were collected from the participants. Binary and multivariate logistic regression analyses were employed to identify factors associated with knowledge and attitudes toward Mpox. Result: A total of 403 subjects were recruited for this study, with a mean age of 39.73 ± 11.22 (SD) years. Among the participants, 33.7% demonstrated good knowledge of Mpox, while 57.3% exhibited positive attitudes toward the disease. Key factors were identified which significantly affect the knowledge of residents including age (adjusted odds ratio (AOR):0.262, confidence interval (CI):0.100-0.685, Conclusion: This study revealed that overall knowledge about Mpox among residents was low. However, reasonable level of public attitude was identified. Overall, equitable public health interventions are needed to enhance public understanding and attitudes toward Mpox.
