Impact of faith-based organizations on the level of knowledge and the use or willingness to use pre-marital testing and counseling in buea: a cross-sectional study.
Article in BMC research notes, 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
objectiveThis study aimed to evaluate the impact of faith-based organizations on the knowledge and use of premarital testing and counseling in Buea.
resultsThere was no significant difference in the use or willingness to use premarital testing and counseling between members and non-members of faith-based organizations. 79.13% of members of faith-based organizations reported that they used or were willing to use premarital testing and counseling, while 81.40% of non-members of faith-based organizations used or were willing to use premarital testing and counseling. Similarly, our study did not find a significant difference in the mean knowledge of premarital testing and counseling among faith-based organizations’ members and non-members. Being legally married was strongly positively associated with the use/willingness to use premarital testing and counseling (aOR: 7.10, CI: 0.07–0.30). Single parents (aOR: 0.48, CI: 2.15–2.81) and especially cohabiting persons (aOR: 0.29, CI: 0.23–0.45) were negatively associated with the use/willingness to use premarital testing and counseling.
