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
backgroundAfrica and sub-Saharan Africa reported higher cervical cancer cases globally. Cervical cancer is the second most leading cause of cancer in Ethiopia. Yet, the evidence was low for cervical cancer screening practices in Ethiopia.
aimIn this study, we assessed the cervical cancer screening and associated factors among reproductive-age women in Sidama Region, Bensa, Ethiopia.
methodsA facility-based cross-sectional study design was conducted from January 1, 2023 to March 30, 2023 in Bensa district. Data were collected using a pre-tested and structured questionnaire. Multivariable logistic regression was used to identify the associated factors with knowledge, attitude, and practice of cervical cancer screening.
resultsOne hundred forty-seven 147 (36.7%) had good knowledge, 218 (54.4%) had a favorable attitude towards cervical cancer screening and only 60 (15%) respondents were screened for cervical cancer. Women having better educational status was 1.6 (AOR: 95% CI: 1.0, 2.5) times more likely to have knowledge of cervical cancer screening. Women being the protestant religion followers (AOR: 1.9; 95% CI; 1.0-3.4), Sidama ethnic group (AOR: 4.5; 95% CI: 2.1-9.7), having no formal education (AOR: 1.7; 95% CI: 1.1-2.7), and having good knowledge of cervical cancer (AOR: 2.2; 95% CI: 1.4-3.4) were associated with a positive attitude towards screening for cervical cancer. The odds of cervical cancer screening were low among Amhara's ethnic categories (AOR: 0.2; 95% CI: 0.1-0.5), while higher in women with single marital statuses (AOR: 2.4; 95% CI: 1.2-4.8), and those who have information about cancer screening (AOR: 2.0; 95% CI: 1.1-3.8).
conclusionThe results of this study showed that cervical cancer screening practice was low. The respondents' knowledge and education status were positively associated with screening for cervical cancer.
