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
Objectives: This study assessed the level of knowledge of community health workers (CHWs) regarding water, hygiene, and sanitation (WASH) in the Comè-Bopa-Grand Popo-Houéyogbé health zone in Benin. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 160 CHWs selected randomly. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire and analyzed with SPSS 21.0. Logistic regression was used to identify factors associated with CHW knowledge. Results: Most CHWs (68.8%) had insufficient knowledge of their roles in WASH. Factors significantly associated with good knowledge included Mina ethnicity (OR = 0.3; 95% CI: 0.1-0.9), being married (OR = 10.0; 95% CI: 1.3-77.7), training on activity packages (OR = 3.3; 95% CI: 1.7-10.0), supervision by a qualified agent (OR = 10.2; 95% CI: 2.5-40.6), and participation in group follow-up sessions (OR = 10.0; 95% CI: 5.0-48.9). Multivariate analysis showed that attending at least two group sessions greatly increased the likelihood of good knowledge (OR = 23.9; 95% CI: 5.3-107.7). Conclusion: Strengthening CHW training, regular follow-up, and incentives is essential to improve WASH-related knowledge and public health impact.
