1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

objectiveTo understand the dog owners' willingness to pay (WTP) for rabies vaccines to control rabies and influencing factors in selected zones of Amhara region, Ethiopia.

methodsQuestionnaire data were collected from 403 dog owners selected for this purpose. Contingent valuation method was used to evaluate WTP. The interval regression analysis was used to identify factors associated to owners' WTP for rabies vaccine.

resultsThe majority of dog owners (65%) were WTP for suggested price bid amounts, but some had shown variability when it comes to specific price bid amounts, namely their WTP decreased when the price of the vaccine increased. The mean WTP for rabies vaccine was 38.61 ETB (0.471USD) per year. Government employees were 18.5 (95% CI: 5.55-26.10, P value <0.003) times more likely WTP for rabies vaccine compared to farmers. Respondents who believe that vaccines prevent diseases were 19.5 times more likely to be WTP for rabies vaccine.

conclusionAlthough majority of dog owners were WTP for rabies vaccine, increasing awareness of the importance of vaccination in disease control and increasing availability of rabies vaccine by low price would increase the chances of controlling rabies through vaccination.
