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
Approximately one-fourth of the deaths that occur each year among under five year children are still caused by vaccine-preventable diseases. Increasing vaccination-uptake, lowering dropout rates, and preventing and controlling vaccine-preventable diseases are all made possible by mothers' good knowledge and practices. To assess knowledge and practice of childhood vaccination among mothers of under five children attending pediatric departments at Jimma City goverment health facilities, Southwest Ethiopia. Using cross-sectional study and convenient sampling technique, 420 mothers attending goverment health facilities in Jimma City to seek medical care for their under-five children from August to October 2023 were included. Interviewer based questionnaires were used for knowledge and practice. Epidata 3.1 was used to enter the data, which were then analyzed using SPSS version 25. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize the data, and bivariate logistic regression was used to identify potential variables for multivariate regression at p values less than 0.25. At P < 0.05, the association was deemed significant. In this study, 277 women (66%, 95% CI 61.7-70.6) had good immunization practices, while 296 mothers (70.5%, 95% CI 66.2-74.9) had good knowledge. Mothers with two or fewer children were twice as likely to have good practices as compared with their counterparts (AOR: 1.82; 95% CI 1.085-3.037; p = 0.023), and mothers whose husbands were farmers were less likely to have good practices (AOR: 0.38; 95% CI 0.205-0.717; p = 0.003). In this study, mothers' vaccination practices were increased with their level of knowledge (AOR: 3.70; 95% CI 2.173-6.290; p < 0.001). The finding of this study reported that more than two third of mothers had good knowledge and while two third had good practice. However, less than one third of the mothers had inadequate knowledge while one third had poor practice. Awareness creation and improving adherence to the vaccination schedule among mothers of different socio-demographic status" is required.
