Awareness of thyroid cancer among medical students: A questionnaire-based study.
Article in Science progress. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
To investigate whether medical students acquire enough knowledge about thyroid cancer (TC). It was a cross-sectional study in a Chinese medical college based on a questionnaire about the knowledge of TC and thyroid self-examination. Medical students enrolled were grouped into preclinical medical students (PMS) and clinical medical students (CMS) according to their grades. A total of 337 questionnaires were distributed and 274 effective responses were collected with 129 from PMS and 145 from CMS. The percentage of thyroid self-examination in CMS was higher than that of PMS (55.8% vs 11.6%,
