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
backgroundMalaria is continuously a great health challenge in Ethiopia, which is worst during armed conflict. Hence, continuous malaria prevention practice is very essential. However, there is no evidence of malaria prevention practices among the residents in Ethiopia during armed conflict. Thus, this study aimed to provide tangible evidence regarding malaria prevention practices and associated factors among residents in Fogera district, Ethiopia, during the armed conflict between Amhara Fano and the federal government, 2025.
methodA community-based cross-sectional study was conducted among residents in Fogera district from September 1-30, 2025. Multistage sampling was applied to select households. The data was collected by trained nurses via face-to-face interview and analyzed using SPSS version 25. Data were summarized with frequency, percentage, mean and standard deviation for both continuous and categorical variables. All predictors with a p-value of less than 0.25 in bi-variable analysis were entered in to multivariable logistic regression to control the confounding effect. An AOR with 95% CI and a p-value of < 0.05 was used to announce statistically significant.
resultA total of 804 participants were included with a 99.5% response rate. 48% of respondents had good practice of malaria prevention and control interventions. Predictors including male gender (AOR = 1.41, 95% CI 1.10-1.81), urban residence (AOR = 1.50, 95% CI 1.01-5.92), having bed net (AOR = 6.91, 95% CI 3.79-8.59) and adequate knowledge (AOR = 2.32, 95% CI 1.34-4.03) were significantly associated with malaria prevention practice.
conclusionAlmost half of the residents had poor practice of malaria prevention and control methods and one-third of the participants had no bed net. Hence, health officials and partners need to give more attention by providing ongoing supervision, support and access to a bed net.
