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
introductionPneumonia is a common and severe inflammatory condition affecting children under five years old, particularly in Southern Asia and Africa. In Ethiopia, approximately 3.37 million children under five contract pneumonia each year. Pneumonia is major health problem in Ethiopia, and studying it can help improve child health outcomes.
objectiveThis study aimed to estimate the magnitude and associated factors of pneumonia among under-five children visiting outpatient departments of public hospitals in Jigjiga city, Ethiopia. METHODOLOGY: A cross-sectional study was conducted at two public hospitals in Jigjiga city from March 15 to April 15, 2024, 2024. A systematic random sampling was implied to collect primary data from 341 under-five children visiting outpatient departments. The data was entered and cleaned using Epi data version 3.1 and exported to SPSS version 20 for analysis. Multivariable binary logistic regression models were employed to analyse the data.
resultThe study revealed that the magnitude of pneumonia was 33.4% and the risk factors for under-five pneumonia were identified. Children carried on their mothers back during cooking (AOR: 4.32, 95%CI: 1.67-11.1), with history of house hold ARTI (AOR: 4.39, 95%CI: 1.49-12.6), partially vaccinated (AOR: 5.33, 95%CI: 1.09-26.07), unvaccinated (AOR: 7.18, 95%CI: 1.18-44.4), had diarrhea (AOR: 3.61, 95%CI: 1.8-9.44), being female (AOR: 2.6, 95%CI: 1.18-5.77) were significantly associate with under five pneumonias.
conclusionThis study found a very high number of young children with pneumonia. Children, who weren't fully vaccinated, were exposed to cooking smoke, household members with respiratory infections, had diarrhea, or were girls all had a much higher risk. This suggests that getting kids fully vaccinated and reducing indoor air pollution are key ways to bring down pneumonia rates.
