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
aimTo determine factors influencing poor implementation of primary preventive care in primary healthcare facilities of a selected municipality.
designThe study adopted a qualitative approach, an exploratory and descriptive design, to gain in-depth data about the study topic.
methodsThe study was conducted in five primary healthcare facilities in a selected municipality. A non-probability purposive sampling approach was used to select fifteen (15) primary healthcare professional nurses to participate in the study. Data was collected for a period of 1 month using semi-structured in-depth face-to-face interviews. Data analysis was done following Tesch's eight steps to develop themes and subthemes. Trustworthiness was ensured through credibility, transferability, dependability and conformability. Ethical clearance certificates were obtained, and ethical standards were observed throughout the study.
resultsThe study findings indicated that the shortage of material and human resources, financial management-related factors, personnel impacts, attitudes and beliefs of consumers towards services, support systems, and the increased burden of disease are factors influencing poor implementation of primary preventive care in primary healthcare facilities of a selected municipality. The study recommends that an increased budget for preventive care could curb the poor implementation of primary preventive care services in primary healthcare facilities. IMPACT: The study addressed the poor implementation of primary preventive health services in a selected municipality. Factors such as a shortage of material and human resources, financial management-related factors, personnel impacts, attitudes and beliefs of consumers towards services, support systems, and an increased burden of disease were revealed as associated with the poor implementation of primary preventive care in primary healthcare facilities of a selected municipality. Policymakers should collaborate with community stakeholders and healthcare providers to review available health policies and programmes. The revisions of health policies could guide the health facilities to improve the implementation of PPC and realise universal health coverage through the National Health Insurance (NHI) for the provision of quality healthcare services to all citizens and, consequently, accomplishing the health-related sustainable development goal agenda by 2030; the Department of Health should introduce additional techniques for engineering PHC with an emphasis on implementing primary preventive care to improve the implementation of PPC in PHC facilities.
