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: Emergency and public health problems are unavoidable and can strike at any time. In a globalized world where crises are getting more common, more devastating, and have a substantial influence on society's health and life, the quality of healthcare services is becoming increasingly important. Such an emergency causes a double burden of impact, especially for African states, due to their low economies and burden of ill health. Objectives: To assess health professionals' knowledge and perceived clinical skill toward emergency preparedness and its associated factors in North Showa, Ethiopia, 2024. Methods: An institution-based cross-sectional study design was employed from December 1 to January 30, 2024. Data was collected using a pre-tested and structured questionnaire from 424 study participants. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS version 25 software. On bivariable logistic regression analysis, variables with Results: A total of 424 participants were enrolled in the study, with a response rate of 413 (97.4%). Among 413 study participants, only 57.6% participants had adequate knowledge of emergency preparedness. Midwifery (AOR = 0.097; 95% CI 0.033-0.284), laboratory (AOR = 0.244; 95% CL 0.073-0.812), pharmacy (AOR = 0.078; 95% CI 0.021-0.288), disaster volunteer (AOR = 0.542; 95% CI 0.318-0.924), having 1-5 years of experience (AOR = 2.541; 95% CL 1.479-4.365), and > 30 years of age (AOR = 3.694; 95% CI 2.026-6.733) were significantly associated with adequate knowledge toward emergency preparedness. Conclusion and Recommendations: About 57.6% of health professionals working in North Showa, Oromia, Ethiopia had adequate knowledge of emergency preparedness. Midwifery, laboratory, pharmacy, disaster volunteering, 1-5 years of experience and > 30 years of age were significantly associated factors. Therefore, training regarding emergency preparedness should be given to all health professionals, including midwifery, medical laboratory and pharmacy, to increase their knowledge level. The local health department also recommended working on creating many disaster volunteer health professionals to solve the problem.
