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: Foodborne illnesses pose a significant global health issue. In Ethiopia, particularly in rapidly expanding urban areas such as Bule Hora Town, the combination of rapid urbanization, inadequate infrastructure, and poor hygiene conditions has created a high-risk environment for the transmission of enteric bacterial infections and intestinal parasites. The widespread consumption of street food in Bule Hora Town contributes substantially to the incidence of foodborne illnesses. Objective: To evaluate the occurrence of enteric bacteria, intestinal parasites, antimicrobial resistance patterns, and its related factors among street food vendors in Bule Hora town. Methods: A community based cross-sectional study was carried out in the town of Bule Hora from April to May 2024. The current study enrolled 230 randomly chosen street food vendors in Bule Hora town. Data were obtained through direct interviews by using a semi-structured questionnaire. Both Stool samples and finger nails were taken from the food vendors for bacteria and parasite identification. Wet mount, formal ether concentration technique, culture and biochemical tests were used to identify enteric bacteria and intestinal parasites. The data were entered and analyzed using Epi-Data 3.1 and SPSS version 25, using logistic regression analysis. A Result: The general prevalence of enteric bacterial pathogens and intestinal parasites was 7.8% (95% CI: 5.4%-10.2%) and 20.8% (95% CI: 17.35%-24.25%) respectively. Of the identified pathogens Conclusion: The study identified a significant prevalence of enteric bacteria and intestinal parasites among street food vendors in the current study area. Bule Hora Health Bureau, in collaboration with the town municipality, should provide regular medical checkups and health education for street-food vendors in the town.
