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: Overuse of antibiotics is considered a major public health problem on a global level and leads to existence and spread of antibiotic-resistant bacterial strains in all settings. Objectives: To explore the knowledge, attitude, and practice of primary healthcare physicians regarding antibiotic use. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted at a random sample of primary healthcare centers (PHCCs), belonging to Ministry of Health, in the city of Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. All primary healthcare physicians working at chosen PHCCs were recruited. A self-administered questionnaire was used for data collection. It includes five sections; socio-demographic characteristics of physicians, 11 statements to assess knowledge about antibiotic use, 6 statements to assess attitude toward antibiotic use, 6 statements concerning practice of antibiotic prescription, and 12 statements about factors influencing antibiotic prescription. Results: The study included 163 primary care physicians. The age of 58.9% ranged between 31 and 40 years. Approximately two-thirds of them were females (64.4%), and majority were Saudi nationals (98.8%). History of attending training Conclusion: Knowledge and practice of primary healthcare physicians in Jeddah city regarding antibiotics use and resistance needs improvement. However their attitude toward them was acceptable. Improvement of their knowledge and continuous monitoring of their practice in this regard are warranted.
