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
Background: Invasive fungal diseases (IFDs) are a public health issue causing morbidity and mortality in millions annually, yet they remain under-recognised. Aim: To determine the awareness and perception of IFDs among Nigerians. Setting: Three states in Nigeria: Lagos, Oyo and Cross River. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study utilising multistage sampling to recruit participants who responded to an interviewer-administered questionnaire. Logistic regression was used to determine factors associated with awareness and perception of IFDs, and a Results: One thousand two hundred and forty one participants were recruited with a mean age of 37.1 ± 16.1 years. The highest percentage had tertiary education as the highest educational attainment 538 (43.4%) and monthly household income within the lowest range of less than 30 000.00 naira ($40.00) 320 (25.8%). Awareness of IFDs was low 240 (19.3%) among the participants. Most participants 820 (66.1%) also had poor perception of fungal diseases. Tertiary education level showed higher IFD awareness ( Conclusion: Awareness and perception of invasive fungal infections among the Nigerian populace were low. There is a need for public health awareness and education on IFDs in Nigeria. Contribution: This study provides baseline data and crucially highlights a need for increased public health campaigns to improve awareness of IFDs in Nigeria.
