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
introductionPain management is a very important aspect of nursing care. However, due to a lack of overall understanding, it is not uncommon to see inadequate pain management by health workers. Therefore, the knowledge and attitude of nurses are important factors for the effective management of pain in children. Thus, the objectives were to determine the knowledge and attitude toward pediatric pain management among the nurses in the University of Gondar Comprehensive Specialized Hospital, Northwest Ethiopia.
methodsAn institutional-based cross-sectional study was conducted from 1 to 30 March 2020 among 393 participants. A simple random sampling technique was used to select the study subjects. The data were collected by using a structured, pre-tested, self-administered questionnaire. The data were entered into EpiData version 3.02 and exported into SPSS version 22 for analysis. Bivariable and multivariable logistic regressions were computed to identify the factors associated with the knowledge and attitude of nurses. An adjusted odds ratio with a 95% confidence interval was computed, and variables with a
resultA total of 267 (67.94%) of the respondents had good knowledge and 262 (66.7%) had a favorable attitude toward pediatric pain management. Working in the outpatient department (AOR = 0.48; 95% CI = 0.23-0.98) had a significant association with knowledge. Nurses who were trained (AOR = 2.47; 95% CI = 1.53-3.99), having good knowledge level (AOR = 2.16; 95% CI = 1.34-3.50), having 6-10 years of work experience (AOR = 2.64; 95% CI = 1.23-5.63), and >10 years of work experience (AOR = 9.02; 95% CI = 2.50-32.74) were significantly associated with the attitude toward pediatric pain management.
conclusionThe majority of nurses had good knowledge and a favorable attitude toward pediatric pain. Working in the outpatient department was associated with poor knowledge. Trained nurses, having good knowledge, and having >6 years of work experience were associated with favorable attitudes.
