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
Introduction: Infectious diseases can spread rapidly among children in daycare centers (DCC). Caregivers at DCC play a crucial role in preventing and controlling these diseases. Objective: This study aimed to assess the knowledge and practice of infection prevention and control (IPC) among caregivers in DCC. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted involving daycare caregivers in the Ogbomoso community, Southwest Nigeria. The Taro Yamane formula was used to calculate a minimum sample size of 111 caregivers from a total population of 136. Due to the lack of a formal registry for daycare centers, the snowball sampling technique was employed; initial participants referred additional caregivers from their professional networks, which aided in recruiting this hard-to-reach population. A pretested, self-developed questionnaire, with a Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.96, was administered. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics ( Results: The findings from this study showed that the majority (60%) of the respondents were within the age group of 30-39 years. Overall, 40% of the respondents had good knowledge of IPC, while 47.3% exhibited poor practices related to IPC. Years of experience ( Conclusion: This study identified a significant association between caregivers' knowledge and their practice of infection prevention and control (IPC), as well as between years of experience and IPC practice. We recommend implementing regular, targeted IPC training that specifically addresses the identified gaps in practice, particularly in hand hygiene and waste management, to further improve infection control standards in daycare centers.
