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
introductionMpox is one of the emerging global health challenges in Nigeria. Consequently, this study assessed the knowledge and determinants of Mpox and Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) practices among primary healthcare workers (HCWs) in Osun State, Nigeria.
methodsA survey of 429 HCWs from 36 PHC facilities in Osun State was conducted between May and August 2023. Data were collected using a 25-item interviewer-administered questionnaire. Good Mpox and IPC knowledge was determined using the mean score. The scores ranged from 0-6 and 0-10, respectively. Binary logistic regression was used to identify predictors of good knowledge of Mpox and IPC (α
resultsThe mean age of the respondents was 38.56±9.05years. About a third (33.4%) were community health extension workers (CHEWs), most (71.5%) were females. The majority (71.7%) had good IPC knowledge. The mean Mpox and IPC knowledge scores were 4.50±1.08 and 8.20±1.74, respectively. Most (84.9%) practice IPC to prevent the disease. Female HCWs were significantly more likely to have good Mpox (aOR= 25.2; 95%CI: 12.6-50.2) and IPC knowledge (aOR= 1.8; 95%CI: 1.1-3.0) compared to males, while HCWs who were above 35 years were least likely to have good Mpox (aOR= 0.1; CI: 0.02-0.24) and IPC knowledge (aOR=0.28; 95%CI: 0.09-0.9) compared to their younger counterparts. HCWs with previous training were more likely to have twice as good IPC knowledge (aOR= 2.39; 95%CI: 1.45-3.93) than those without training.
conclusionMpox and IPC knowledge were good among HCWs in Osun State. Age, sex, and previous training were the predictors of Mpox and IPC knowledge. Periodic training, including supportive supervision, should be conducted to sustain and improve HCWs' Mpox and IPC knowledge in the State.
