Assessment of Long-Lasting Insecticide-Treated Bed Net Possession, Utilization, and Prevalence of Malaria Among Patients Visiting Bahir Dar Health Center.

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
Malaria remains a major public health problem in Ethiopia despite recent progress in control and elimination efforts, including the scale-up of long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs). A facility-based cross-sectional study was conducted from February to March 30, 2021, among suspected malaria patients attending Bahir Dar Health Center, Amhara Regional State, Northwest Ethiopia. A total of 403 participants were selected by simple random sampling. Data on sociodemographic characteristics and LLIN possession and utilization were collected using a structured questionnaire, and malaria infection was determined by microscopic examination of blood smears. Among a total of 403 participants, 283 (70.2%) possessed at least one LLIN and 268 (66.5%) reported regular use during sleeping hours. The overall malaria prevalence was 3.7% (15/403).
