BARRIERS AND FACILITATORS TO PROVIDING COVID-19 CONTACT TRACING INFORMATION AMONG ADULT NIGERIANS.
Article in African journal of infectious diseases, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 –: Contact tracing information as one of the measures of COVID-19 control had been met with some barriers and facilitators. This study was set to identify barriers and facilitators to providing COVID-19 contact tracing information among adult Nigerians. Materials and Methods –: The study was a prospective web-based cross-sectional descriptive design. Multi-stage sampling technique was used to select 1015 adult Nigerians within 18-70 years age band. Data were collected through Google forms and analyzed with the aids of Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 22. Results –: The majority (91.1%) of the respondents indicated that they will provide contact tracing information if they were confirmed or suspected to have COVID-19. The most identified facilitator to providing Covid-19 contact tracing information by the majority (90.7%) of the participants was to help stop the spread of COVID-19. More than average (58.9%) of participants did not trust the authorities; this was the most identified barrier to providing COVID-19 contact tracing information. The intent to provide contact tracing information was significantly associated with being a healthcare professional (p = .007) and place of residence (p = .044). Conclusion –: This study has identified facilitators and barriers to providing COVID-19 contact information. Despite the progress in management of COVID-19, the future is not predictive; therefore, providing contact tracing information will remain relevant in planning strategic and specific interventions for controlling infectious diseases. Government should make more effort to improve public trust on confidentiality of information and governance in general.
