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: Notwithstanding disability being a critical public health and social issue in Somalia, available evidence on its magnitude and associated factors remains scarce. Therefore, this study seeks to assess the prevalence of disability and identify its determinants among the adult population aged 18 years and above in Somalia. Method: A cross-sectional study approach was employed to measure the prevalence of disability and evaluate associated factors. The analysis utilised data from the Somali Integrated Household Budget Survey 2022, with a total sample of 19,832 adult population. A multivariable logit model was applied to evaluate factors influencing disability status. Associations were quantified using adjusted odds ratios (AOR) with 95% confidence interval (CI), and statistical significance was determined at a Findings: This study found that the overall prevalence of the adult population in Somalia was 11.95% [0.114-0.126]. Women's disability was marginally higher at 13.29% compared to men's at 10.36%. Disability was significantly associated with age, sex, education, household size, working status, smoking, residence, and region ( Conclusion: Disabilities related to seeing and walking or climbing were the most prevalent in the population. In this regard, efforts should focus on strengthening disability legal frameworks, expanding community screening and mobile health services, implementing gender-responsive and inclusive education programmes, providing targeted social assistance to vulnerable households, and promoting integrated disability care and advancing evidence through multi-survey and comparative research.
