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
backgroundWith the recent pandemic of the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19), multiple sclerosis (MS) and neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) patients for their compromised immune system have been in significant concern. Awareness and attitude about this virus have an important impact on infection prevention and coping with stress and anxiety. So we conducted this study to assess knowledge, attitude, and mental health status in MS and NMOSD patients within the COVID-19 pandemic.
methodIn this cross-sectional study, the link of Depression Anxiety Stress Scales-21 (DASS-21) and a self-administered structured questionnaire were sent through social media to MS and NMOSD patients and two control groups consisting of healthy and migraine individuals.
resultsA total of 223 MS patients, 41 NMOSD, 29 migraine, and 245 healthy subjects participated in this study. MS patients had higher total DASS scores compared to healthy participants (p = 0.012). There were no significant differences among the study groups regarding knowledge and attitude. In MS patients, physical comorbidity was associated with a total score of attitude (OR 1.59, 95% CI 0.53, 2.66, p = 0.004). We did not find association between other demographic and clinical variables with DASS scores, attitude, and knowledge in MS patients.
conclusionThe current data highlight the necessity of attitude, knowledge, and mental health assessment among MS and NMOSD patients. Further studies in other countries need to be carried to assess these points among MS and NMOSD patients.
