Article in Frontiers in public health, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Background: Restraint is widely used in nursing homes to address safety concerns. However, many studies have shown that improper restraint can lead to many adverse outcomes. Nursing staff are the main practitioners of physical restraint in nursing homes and play an important role in restraint decision-making and management. In China, there is still a lack of large-scale surveys on the current situation regarding the use of restraint. This study aimed to identify this situation and the influencing factors of the knowledge, attitude, and practice of nursing staff regarding physical restraint in elderly care institutions. Methods: A cross-sectional multicenter descriptive study was conducted. A total of 311 staff in 25 elderly care institutions in Zhejiang Province were recruited using a quota sampling method. A homemade questionnaire was administered to collect general information and information on knowledge, attitude and practice regarding physical restraint. Results: The average scoring rates of the knowledge and attitude dimensions of the 311 staff were 48.7 and 75.6%, respectively. The average scoring rate of the practice dimension of 140 staff who implemented restraint was 80.1%. Educational background and training experience were the influencing factors of restraint knowledge. Training experience, educational background and professional title were the influencing factors of restraint attitude. Restraint knowledge and length of service were the influencing factors of restraint practice. Conclusions: Knowledge of physical restraint among nursing staff is not promising. Their attitude toward restraint was inappropriate or irresponsible in some aspects. Restraint practice is not sufficiently standardized. It is necessary to strengthen restraint training for nursing staff to improve their overall level of restraint knowledge, attitude and practice.
