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: Malaria is endemic in Guinea. The use of mosquito nets by women of childbearing age helps protect children under five from malaria. Aim: To estimate the proportion of mosquito nets use and identify the factors explaining that use among women aged 15 to 49 in four regions of Guinea. Setting: The study was carried out in Guinea specifically in Conakry, Boke, Kindia, and Labe regions. Methods: We conducted a secondary analysis of a 2023 cross-sectional study, yielding a sample of 1,876 women. The outcome was mosquito net use the night before the survey. Simple logistic regressions assessed associations with independent variables were included in multivariate analysis. Results: In our study, 64.23% of women slept under a mosquito net the night before the survey. Living in an urban area is associated with a reduced likelihood of sleeping under a mosquito net (OR = 0.54; 95% CI = 0.43-0.68). Believing that sleeping under a mosquito net poses no health risk significantly increases the likelihood of using it (OR = 2.14; 95% CI = 1.64-2.79), as does the belief that mosquito nets are very useful (OR = 2.33; 95% CI = 1.38-4.00). Conclusion: These results suggest that communication strategies must focus on transforming women's knowledge and attitudes by using approaches that are more engaging, participatory, and adapted to local realities. Contribution: This study shows that knowledge and attitudes toward malaria matter when it comes to preventive practices like the use of mosquito nets among women in childbearing age.
