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
The aim of this study was to develop a valid and reliable questionnaire to assess vitamin D-related knowledge, attitude and practices in Tehranian adults, who may be at increased risk of vitamin D deficiency. This study was conducted on 572 individuals, aged ≥20 years from public health care centers in Tehran, Iran. Based on results of a literature review and in-depth interviews, the 38-item vitamin D-related KAP questionnaire (D-KAP-38) with four subscales was developed: (1) general knowledge; (2) nutritional knowledge; (3) attitudes; (4) behaviors. Validity of the D-KAP-38 questionnaire was assessed, utilizing face, content, and construct validity methods. Internal consistency was calculated to assess reliability of the current developed questionnaire. A total of 572 (54.1% female) adults, aged 30.2 ± 7.9 years, participated in the study. All items were perceived as relevant and comprehendible by participants. Content validity was confirmed by a panel of experts. The internal consistency, as measured by Cronbach's alpha coefficients, exceeded the minimum reliability standard of 0.60 for four subscales. Exploratory factor analysis suggested a four-factor construct and the results of the confirmatory factor analysis indicated acceptable fit indices for the proposed model. No ceiling effects were observed except for general knowledge (1.2%). Floor effects detected were 0%, 1.1%, 2.4%, and 8.7% for practice, attitude, general knowledge, and nutrition knowledge, respectively. General knowledge had the highest score (79.59 ± 14.52) and nutrition knowledge had the lowest (42.58 ± 20.40), among the four sub-scales. Results confirm the initial validity and reliability of D-KAP-38 questionnaire. Further investigations in different populations are recommended.
