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
According to the Ethiopian health sector transformative plan, a small number of people were screened for common non-communicable diseases in the country. This study aims to assess the awareness level and factors associated with routine medical checkups for common non-communicable diseases among adults residing in Gondar City, Northwest Ethiopia, 2024. A community-based cross-sectional survey with multi-stage cluster sampling was conducted from May 22, 2024, to July 12, 2024. In the chosen kebele, every 7th household was selected using systematic random sampling; Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were done. Finally, variables with a P-value < 0.05 are considered statistically significant. The study included 776 participants, yielding a response rate of 96.3%. 62.5% (95% CI 59.1–66) of the study respondents had a good awareness of routine medical checkups. Multivariable analysis revealed that participants with formal education were significantly more likely to have good awareness compared to those who were illiterate, with odds ranging from 2.2 to 8.5 times higher. Additionally, good awareness was significantly associated with having a history of chronic illness (AOR = 2.1, 95% CI 1.4–3.2), engaging in good physical exercise level (AOR = 4.1, 95% CI 2.7–6.2), and accessing health insurance coverage (AOR = 2.4; 95% CI 1.8–3.4) towards routine medical check-ups. The study found that around two-thirds of participants had good awareness of routine medical check-ups. Awareness was significantly associated with higher educational attainment, presence of chronic illness, regular physical activity, and health insurance coverage. These findings highlight the need to strengthen public health education on the importance of routine medical check-ups. To advance sustainable development goal 3, “good health and well-being”, efforts should focus on enhancing health education, expanding insurance coverage, and promoting active lifestyles to improve awareness, encourage early detection of chronic diseases, and enhance overall health outcomes.
