The Solid Waste Management and Determinant Factors in Asella, Ethiopia: Generation Rates, Disposal Practices, and Public Perceptions.
Article in Environmental health insights, 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
Implementing technical systems can help reduce the ever-increasing quantity of municipal solid waste. The main objective of this study was to determine current solid waste management practices and determining factors in Asella, Ethiopia. A cross-sectional study design was applied to 418 houses. Random and systematic sampling techniques for data collection were used, along with organized questionnaires and checklists. Data were entered into EpiData 4.6 and exported to SAS 17. Binary logistic regression was the test statistic for the determination of the AOR solid waste components. The rate of solid waste generation was significant, at 0.71 kg per person per day. The health exposure assessment of health indicator problems was also high, 94.78%. The percentages of trash waste, food waste, and paper waste were 29%, 25%, and 19%, respectively. Open-field disposal accounted for 20.3% of the solid waste disposal methods, followed by surface dumping (21.1%), open burning (32.5%), composting (13.4%), and other systems (12.7%). Municipal offices handled 69.6% of the solid waste collection service, the private sector (22%), and individual partners (8.4%). 59.8% of the people were dissatisfied with municipal solid waste collection services. Trash (AOR 3.93, CI 2.87-5.39), plastic (AOR 3.81, CI 1.83-7.90), paper (AOR 4.62, CI 3.39-6.28), food (AOR 1.23, CI 1.11-1.89), and others (AOR 4.95, CI 2.45-9.85) were associated factors with solid waste management practice in Asella, Ethiopia. In conclusion, a paradigm shift to energy and material transformation will be economically and technically feasible remedial measures for solid waste management problems in Asella, Ethiopia.
