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
backgroundThe CBHI scheme is a financial mechanism intended to protect vulnerable populations, such as low-income and rural communities, from the high costs of healthcare. In many developing nations like Ethiopia, significant out-of-pocket healthcare expenses act as a major barrier to accessing essential medical services. So, this study, aimed to identify factors influencing household attitudes toward community-based health insurance services in Awi zone.
methodsA community-based cross-sectional study using a quantitative approach was conducted from 2,939 households using a multistage sampling technique. Attitude was estimated based on 10 likert scale questions and classified depending on cumulative measure. A binary logistic regression model was used to identify factors.
resultsFor the participants’ response rate was 98% and 56.41% the household had a positive attitude toward CBHI while 43.59% had negative attitude. Attitude was measured based on 10 likert scale question and if respondent say yes for more than 6 equations they have positive attitudes otherwise have negative attitude. Significant variables were gender (AOR: 1.422, 95% CI: 1.05–1.918), marital status (married) (AOR: 2.47, 95% CI: 0.89–3.77), residence (AOR: 0.64, 95% CI: 0.45–0.92), presence of under five children in the household (OR: 0.83, 95% CI: 0.69–0.99), hospitalization cost (AOR: 0.09, 95% CI: 0.01–1.13), presence of chronic illness (OR: 1.40, 95% CI: 1.41–1.71), high level of awareness (AOR: 1.43, 95% CI: 1.00-2.04), satisfaction (AOR: 2.39, 95% CI: 1.32–4.46), and being a beneficiary based on demand (AOR: 0.30, 95% CI: 0.18–0.50).
conclusionThe study concludes that a combination of demographic, socioeconomic, and behavioral factors collectively influences household attitudes toward the CBHI scheme in the Awi zone. While satisfaction and awareness are strong predictors of positive attitudes, factors like marital status and the presence of chronic illness also play a role. Conversely, residence (urban areas), specific beneficiary status, and having young children in the household are associated with negative attitudes. These findings underscore the need for targeted interventions to increase awareness, improve service quality, and address the specific concerns of households with negative perceptions to enhance the overall effectiveness and uptake of the CBHI scheme.
