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.

Background: HIV is still a significant global public health issue. World health organization (WHO) recommends that people infected with HIV should initiate HIV-based services as early as possible. The aim of this study was to assess the knowledge and attitude levels of HIV patients towards HIV-based services and associated factors. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 274 HIV patients obtaining HIV-based services at Kibagabaga Hospital. Descriptive analysis, bivariate and logistic regression analysis were performed using SPSS version 21. P-value <0.05 was declared as significant. Results: The majority of respondents were female 158 (57.7%) and 107 (39.1%) were aged 50 years old and more. Analysis revealed that 86.1% had good knowledge on HIV-based services and 81% exhibited positive attitudes. Respondents aged 40-49 years (AOR: 11.59; 95% CI: 1.560 - 86.063), aged 50 years (AOR: 16.44; 95% CI: 2.150 - 125.653), Urban (AOR: 7.05; 95% CI: 1.999 - 24.88) and engaged for more than 5 years (AOR: 13.29; 95% CI: 1.694 - 104.182) were more likely to exhibit good knowledge towards HIV-based services. Conclusion: The study revealed favorable knowledge and attitudes towards HIV-based services, However, improved awareness is needed to improve uptake in rural communities.
