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
Background: Suya, a widely consumed street-vended meat in Nigeria, may expose consumers to trace metal contamination due to informal preparation and vending conditions. Given its frequent patronage, contamination risk is shaped not only by exposure but also by how often people consume Suya, the factors influencing vendor choice, and their understanding of contamination and protective behaviors. In this study, "knowledge" refers to consumers' understanding of trace metal sources and health effects, while "awareness/safety practices" reflect risk perception and behavioral responses to minimize exposure. Therefore, this study assessed socio-demographic characteristics, consumption behaviors, knowledge of trace metal contamination, and safety practices among Suya consumers in Yenagoa metropolis, Nigeria. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted between March and May 2024 among 396 regular Suya consumers selected through time-location-based simple random sampling across markets, schools, residential areas, and evening vending spots to reflect varying consumption periods. Eligible participants were residents aged ≥16 years who had consumed Suya within the previous 3 months to ensure stable and recent consumption patterns. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire. The response rate was 92.7%. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 21. Frequencies, percentages, and composite scores were computed. Associations were tested using Pearson's Chi-square. Internal consistency was evaluated with Cronbach's alpha (overall α = 0.75) and Spearman's rank correlation examined relationships among section scores. Results: Most respondents were female (71.5%), aged 16-25 years (66.2%), single (79%), and had tertiary education (71.7%). Suya consumption was frequent, with 58.3% buying from roadside vendors; age was significantly associated with vendor choice ( Conclusion: Suya consumption is shaped by accessibility and convenience, while education enhances contamination knowledge and protective behaviors. Targeted public health education and strengthened vendor monitoring are recommended to reduce potential trace metal exposure.
