A prospective survey on knowledge, attitude and current practices of pre-operative fasting amongst anaesthesiologists: A nationwide survey.
Article in Indian journal of anaesthesia, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers.
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 AND
aimsPre-operative fasting is a routine practice to minimise the risk of pulmonary aspiration. The leading societies of anaesthesia have adopted more liberal fasting guidelines to avoid the adverse effect of prolonged fasting. This survey was conducted to assess the knowledge, attitude and current practice of fasting guidelines among Indian anaesthesiologists and to analyse the reasons for non-compliance of these guidelines.
methodsA questionnaire consisted of 11 questions was distributed via 'Survey Monkey' software to 621 anaesthesiologists who attended the annual conference of the Indian Society of Anaesthesiologists held in Ludhiana, in 2016. American Society of Anaesthesiologists (ASA) practice guidelines for fasting were the standard of assessment.
resultsThe response rate to the survey was 52%. Of the respondents, 69% described correctly the practice guidelines to pre-operative fasting. Only seven percent respondents were aware of the benefits of liberalised fasting. More than 2/3
conclusionMajority of the respondents were aware of the ASA fasting guidelines. However, the implementation of the guidelines and knowledge regarding benefits of liberalised fasting is poor among respondents.
