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
Low rates of actively contributing to the Social Health Insurance Fund (SHIF) under the Social Health Authority (SHA) could be due to health insurance knowledge inadequacies, possibly because of poor electronic health (eHealth) literacy. This study assesses whether eHealth literacy is associated with SHA/SHIF knowledge among undergraduate healthcare students in Kenya. An analytical cross-sectional study was conducted using the eHealth Literacy Scale (eHEALS) and an adapted Kaiser Family Foundation quiz. A total of 207 students in mainly six health-related academic programs in 21 institutions of higher learning in Kenya responded to the online survey. Only 54% and 21.7% of the participants had high (median ≥ 4 out of 5) levels of eHealth literacy and knowledge of SHA/SHIF, respectively. About 9.2% of the students had never heard of SHA/SHIF. Only high eHealth literacy compared to low eHealth literacy (OR = 6.2,
