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
Introduction: The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) continued to be the major threat to the world. The Ethiopian National Plan, as well as the UNAIDS target for the year 2021-2025, is to significantly reduce the transmission, enhance the prevention and control strategies to reduce deaths from the disease. Objective: This study aimed to investigate the determinants of knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) towards HIV/AIDS among Sayint Preparatory and General Secondary School students. Methods: An institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted from August to September 2023. Purposive sampling was used to select the site, and simple random sampling was used to recruit study participants. Results: The majority of the respondents had good knowledge (87.3%), positive attitude (88.9%), and good practice (88.6%). From the multivariate analysis, being from an urban area (AOR = 6.52, CI: 2.22-19.12), Grade 10 (AOR, 2.70; CI: 1.15-6.36), and Grade 11 (AOR, 3.69; CI: 1.47-9.30) and (AOR, 2.41-30.27) were factors associated with the knowledge about HIV/AIDS. Being married (AOR, 3.98, CI: 1.10-14.56) and obtaining information from family members (AOR, 0.30; CI: 0.11-0.80) were variables significantly associated with attitude towards HIV/AIDS. Conclusion: The KAP of the respondents towards HIV/AIDS was high, but misconceptions were also noted. Extensive sex education programs in schools should be devised to solve the risks associated with HIV/AIDS.
