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
objectiveThe aim of this study was to assess knowledge, attitude, and practices towards cervical cancer screening among postpartum subjects. STUDY
designThis cross-sectional study was conducted at inpatient obstetrics ward at Thammasat University Hospital (TUH), Thailand. The period of study was between July 2020 and July 2021. Subjects were term Thai pregnant women who had age between 20 and 45 years old and delivered at TUH. Demographic characters, knowledge, attitude and practices regarding cervical cancer screening were collected.
resultsA total of 388 parturient was recruited into the study. Average age was 31 years old. Around 90 percent of subjects knew that every woman age between 21and 65 years old with or without children should be screened for cervical cancer despite having only 46.6 percent (181/388) of subjects that underwent postpartum cervical cancer screening. Almost half of the participant agreed that risky sexual behavior of both genders was not the cause of cervical cancer. Despite the availability of the HPV vaccine throughout the country, only 74.2 percent acknowledged that HPV was the cause and only 70.4% heard about the HPV vaccine. The mean attitude about the cervical cancer was relatively high with the mean of 3.19±0.46. Although the higher the score the better the attitude toward the statement, there were several correlations of having such attitude.
conclusionAttention to postpartum cervical cancer screening was quite low even though high knowledge of cervical cancer and screening. Scant knowledge was not all of the troubles that we believed long time ago.
