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: Trichomoniasis is a non-viral neglected sexually transmitted disease of public health importance. Undergraduate students, often experiencing newfound freedom from family oversight, may engage in risky sexual behaviors, predisposing them to trichomoniasis and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs). This study aimed to assess the knowledge, attitudes, and practices towards trichomoniasis and associated factors among the Central University students in the Greater Accra Region of Ghana. Methods: An institutional cross-sectional study was conducted between March and July 2024, involving 387 undergraduate students from Central University who were selected using a simple random sampling technique. Data were collected using a structured researcher-led interview with respondents in the Schools of Nursing and Midwifery, Pharmacy, and Medical Sciences. The study used bivariate and multivariable logistic regression (STATA MP Version 16) to identify factors linked to trichomoniasis, calculating odds ratios (95% confidence intervals [CI]) to measure associations. Multivariable analysis considered variables with a Results: The study included 387 participants (81.40% female, 18.60% male; mean age 20). About 171 (44.19%), 150 (38.76%), and 66 (17.05%) were pharmacy, nursing, and physician assistantship studies students, respectively. Significant associations with Conclusion: The study revealed a good level of knowledge, positive attitudes, and effective preventive practices regarding trichomoniasis among the students. Gender, age, program of study, knowledge, and attitudes were significantly associated with self-reported risk behaviors. The study recommends targeted reproductive health education, particularly on trichomoniasis and STIs, to enhance safer sexual behaviors among tertiary students.
