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
Objectives: To evaluate healthcare workers' (HCWs) providing tuberculosis (TB) services knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) regarding infection prevention and control (IPC), assess barriers and facilitators to TB IPC implementation and adherence, and evaluate existing TB IPC policies at public health facilities in Namibia's //Karas region. Design: Concurrent mixed-methods design. Setting: Public healthcare facilities in Namibia's //Karas region. Methods: Quantitative data were collected using an online questionnaire distributed via email and social media platforms to HCWs providing TB services. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize respondent characteristics and KAP scores, followed by bivariate analysis using the Pearson χ Results: HCWs demonstrated good knowledge (91.2%) and positive attitudes (85.3%) toward TB IPC, with practice scores less optimal (61.8%). Knowledge was associated with district ( Conclusion: Strengthening TB IPC requires investment in infrastructure, training, consistent monitoring, and policy enforcement. Targeted IPC interventions can address key barriers and improve adherence across public health facilities.
