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

Zoonoses pose serious public health challenges. In Lao People's Democratic Republic, where > 70% of population engages in agriculture and livestock farming, public awareness of zoonoses remains unclear. We conducted a nationwide population-based survey with 347 individuals aged 12-40 years across 40 villages in 20 districts. Logistic regression analysis was used to identify factors associated with zoonoses awareness. Awareness was approximately 42.9% and was significantly higher among females and livestock owners. Lower awareness was observed among individuals with primary or secondary education compared with those with higher education, whereas no significant difference was found for those with no formal education. These findings highlight the need for targeted health education programs for populations with limited access to formal education and health information. A One Health approach, integrating human, animal, and environmental health sectors, should be prioritized to improve zoonoses awareness and reduce transmission risks, especially in rural and marginalized communities.
