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: We aimed to analyse the trends in ageism among health care providers and medical students in the Republic of Korea. Methods: We used the Fraboni Scale of Ageism (FSA), Relating to Older People Evaluation (ROPE) questionnaire, Anxiety about Aging Scale (AAS), and the Facts on Aging Quiz II to assess ageism in medical students (n=90), nurses (n=114), and physicians (n=83). We grouped health care providers based on the percentage of aged patients (over 65 years) that they treated. Results: Compared to the other groups, physicians had more knowledge about aging and the highest and lowest total scores in the FSA and ROPE, respectively. The total FSA scores were negatively correlated with the percentage of aged patients treated. Regarding the ROPE score, negative and positive ageist behaviors were positively correlated with the percentage of aged patients. Conclusions: Ageism and ageist behavior among physicians differed from previous reports and those of the other groups mentioned in the present study. Although physicians had more knowledge of aging, they had expressed a high levels of ageism. However, they did not act ageistically. Health care providers who treat a large number of older patients had minimal ageism but more ageist behavior. These findings indicate that continued education of geriatrics and ageism for medical staff and prospective medical personnel could help improve this situation.
