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
Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) is a highly contagious viral disease with major economic implications for the livestock sector in Uganda. Although cattle are the primary focus of FMD control in Uganda, small ruminants are also susceptible and interact with cattle in mixed species grazing systems. Little is known about the epidemiology of FMD in small ruminants. The objective of this study was to assess the seroprevalence and risk factors associated with FMD in goats in Uganda. A cross-sectional study was conducted in five high-risk districts with a history of FMD outbreaks. Blood samples were collected from nonvaccinated goats across 80 farms, and a questionnaire was administered to collect data on animal- and farm-level characteristics. Serum samples were tested for FMD virus (FMDV) nonstructural protein (NSP) antibodies using ELISA. Descriptive statistics and univariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed to identify factors associated with seropositivity. The overall animal and farm-level seroprevalence was 19.8% (165/832) and 48.8% (39/80), respectively, and within-farm prevalence ranged from 0% to 100%. Kiruhura district had the highest seroprevalence (32.4%). Key predictors of seropositivity included proximity to a national park (OR = 14.37,
