University of Hawai'i John A. Burns School of Medicine Medical Students' Attitudes Towards Obese Patients.

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
Studies have shown that healthcare professionals often demonstrate obesity biases, which in turn reduce the quality of care obese patients receive. The purpose of the current study was to describe third and fourth year University of Hawai'i, John A. Burns School of Medicine medical students' attitudes towards obese patients. Data were collected using previously validated questions from a pilot study assessing how healthcare providers react and recommend medical care to patients with varying characteristics. The responses of 114 medical students were analyzed. Overall, the majority of students' responses reflected the belief that obesity may be a behavioral issue. There were no statistically significant differences between the third and fourth year students' responses. Important areas of future research include assessing students' awareness of the social determinants of health and ability to self-identify possible biases in caring for obese patients.
