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: Nigeria ranked third in Africa and eleventh globally in the 2024 Crime Index. Despite the country's endemic crime level, its impact on the health sector has been under-researched. The paper presents qualitative data from a study conducted in selected urban Local Government Areas in Abia and Anambra states in the southeastern part of Nigeria. Method: Fifty-two key stakeholders in security and health sectors, comprising health policymakers ( Results: Findings indicate that acquisitive offenses such as theft, robbery, kidnapping, sexual offenses, and gang-related or cultism-driven violence were frequently reported. Residents, healthcare professionals, local authorities, and policymakers noted that these crimes posed significant threats to health workers and negatively impacted the functionality of health facilities. Incidents of staff absenteeism, equipment theft, and night shift interruptions were reported. Furthermore, elevated crime rates have led service users to consider safe times when accessing healthcare facilities carefully.
