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
Objectives: This study aimed to assess food hygiene practices and associated factors among street food vendors in Addis Ababa. Methods: A community-based cross-sectional study with mixed methods was conducted from 1-30 March 2024. A total of 337 vendors participated in the quantitative survey, and 25 took part in qualitative interviews and focus group discussions. Consecutive sampling was applied for the quantitative component and convenience sampling for the qualitative part. Data were collected using structured questionnaires with observational checklists and unstructured guides for qualitative interviews. Multivariable logistic regression identified predictors at p < 0.05, and qualitative data were analyzed thematically. Results: Good hygiene practice was observed in 33.2% (95% CI:28.2-38.3). Significant factors included training (AOR: 2.43), knowledge (AOR:3.44), uninterrupted water supply (AOR: 2.52), professional visits (AOR: 5.42), and work experience >1 year (AOR: 4.68). Qualitative findings revealed barriers including inadequate water and sanitation, poor working conditions, lack of training, financial constraints, and customer pressures. Conclusion: Hygiene practices were generally low. Findings emphasize the need for targeted interventions in training, supervision, and infrastructure to improve food hygiene among street food vendors.
