1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Arboviruses, such as yellow fever and dengue viruses, pose a growing public health threat in Sub-Saharan Africa, particularly at human-wildlife interfaces. Mole National Park (MNP), with its rich biodiversity and ecotourism, represents a high-risk area and has been the epicentre of recent outbreaks in Ghana. The objective of this study was to assess community knowledge, attitudes and practices (KAP) regarding arboviral transmission and prevention in this high-risk interface. In December 2023, we conducted a cross-sectional KAP survey among 300 adults in MNP (n = 120) and nearby communities, Murugu (n = 94) and Mognori (n = 86) using structured questionnaires. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics and chi-square tests, and a multivariable logistic regression model (α = .05). Awareness of yellow fever was high (92.0%), but none mentioned dengue or Zika; awareness varied significantly by location (MNP 96.7%, Murugu 96.8%, Mognori 80.2%;
