Article in Veterinary medicine and science, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundBovine tuberculosis is listed among the top three animal diseases that cause major animal and public health concerns in Ethiopia. Knowledge, attitude and practices (KAPs) of farmers towards bovine tuberculosis in Ethiopia remain insufficiently studied, especially among local cattle owners. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the level of cattle owners' KAPs.
methodsA cross-sectional study with 200 randomly selected study participants was carried out using a face-to-face interview from December 2023 to May 2024 in and around Nekemte town, western Ethiopia. The statistical analysis was performed using Stata version 16. Chi-square analysis was used to assess the association between independent variables and owners' KAPs, and multivariable logistic regression analysis was used to identify potential predictor variables.
resultAmong the total respondents, 34.5% and 32.0% of them knew about bovine tuberculosis and the zoonotic importance of it, respectively, while 18.8% of the respondents knew that the causative agent of bovine tuberculosis is bacteria. The KAPs of the respondents were associated with their education level. Those respondents who attended college/university and secondary education were 5.76 (1.46-22.66) and 3.26 (1.03-12.08) times more knowledgeable about bovine tuberculosis than those who did not attend a formal education. Those respondents who had completed college/university had 7.34 (2.33-23.11), secondary school had 3.34 (1.15-9.66), and primary school had 4.54 (1.48-13.89) times more likely to have a desirable attitude than those who did not attend formal education. With regard to practices, those respondents with a college/university, secondary or primary education had 6.74 (1.97-23.10), 3.53 (1.11-11.27) and 5.13 (1.52-17.32) times more appropriate practices, respectively, than those who did not attend a formal education.
conclusionThe respondents had a low level of KAPs regarding bovine tuberculosis in and around Nekemte town, Ethiopia. Raising awareness through education and training campaigns, both in human and animal health sectors, using a one health approach, is necessary.
