1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Women of reproductive age (WRA) face the greatest burden of the HIV/AIDS epidemic in low- and middle-income countries, including Tanzania. Comprehensive HIV/AIDS knowledge is vital for effective prevention. Using the 2022 Tanzania Demographic and Health Survey and Malaria Indicator Survey we found that only 15.9% of WRA possessed comprehensive HIV/AIDS knowledge. Higher knowledge was associated with marital status, education, literacy, employment, wealth index, using internet, sexually transmitted infections awareness. However, increase in age associated with lower odds. These findings highlight the critical need for targeted intervention emphasizing digital platforms and continued education to enhance knowledge among WRA in Tanzania.
