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
Introduction: Resistance to antibiotics is a threat confronting health care system worldwide. Nurses play a significant role in combating this threat. Objectives: The present study examined the knowledge and attitude of nurses towards antibiotic use and prevention of antibiotic resistance. Methods: The research involved a cross-sectional study conducted in a multi-cultural tertiary healthcare setting. The participants were 341 nurses. A structured self-administered questionnaire with a good validity and reliability (α = 0.7) was used. Results: The nurses surveyed showed moderate awareness of antibiotic resistance and a fair attitude towards its prevention. There was no significant correlation of demographic features with their overall knowledge and attitude ( Conclusions: Nurses perform a crucial part in infection control, but often lack knowledge of methods to prevent antibiotic resistance. This paucity highlights the importance of tailored interventions to help nurses improve their awareness of antibiotic resistance and create a favorable attitude towards its prevention.
