1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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: In urban areas of developing countries, cockroaches pose a significant public health threat by spreading diseases and contaminating food sources. This study aimed to assess the infestation levels of indoor cockroach species across various household settings and to evaluate community management practices. Methods: The study was conducted from April to June 2022, utilizing sticky traps placed within 2 × 2 m distance transects. Morphological identification of cockroach species was performed using standard taxonomic keys. Data on community management practices were gathered through a well-structured questionnaire. A factorial ANOVA was conducted using SAS statistical software to determine significant differences in cockroach abundance based on the various factors such as sampling months, habitats, species, and sexes. Descriptive statistics were applied to analyze questionnaire data. Results: A total of 2670 cockroach individuals were collected. The overall ANOVA indicated a statistically significant difference in cockroach abundance among the measured variables and factors ( Conclusion: Grain mills with
