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: the purpose of this study was to evaluate the knowledge, attitudes and practices (KAP) related to cataract and glaucoma in the population of Conakry Guinea. Methods: we conducted a prospective descriptive and analytical study at the Bartimée Clinic over a period of three months. All patients who agreed to answer our questionnaire and having an age ≥18 years were included. KAP questions related to cataract and glaucoma were asked. Knowledge levels were correlated with age, gender and education. Results: a total of 1000 people participated in the study. Sex-ratio was 1.10 and the mean age was 42.41 years ± 21.74. Male occupations were found to be more represented 21.80%; illiterate persons accounted for 45.10%, those with a very good level of knowledge 47.50%, patients knowing that the treatment of cataract was surgical 59.10%. For glaucoma: 55.80% of patients thought that the treatment was surgical. In the case of cataract and glaucoma 51.90% said they would go to hospital, 38,80% would go to a traditional healer and 9,30% practiced self-medication. There was a significant link between age, gender and education level and knowledge about cataract and glaucoma. Conclusion: in Conakry, Guinea, KAP related to cataract and glaucoma are less than satisfactory. Awareness-raising strategies should be undertaken to improve results.
