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: Poisoning is a common cause of medical visits and hospitalizations around the world. The knowledge, attitude, and practice of nurses in the management of acute poisoning are very poor in developing countries, such as Ethiopia. According to the previous study, 75% and 45% of nurses had unsatisfactory knowledge and practice, respectively. Objectives: This study aimed to assess the knowledge, attitude, and practice of nurses toward the initial management of acute poisoning. Method: An institution-based cross-sectional study design was used to recruit 422 nurses from public hospitals of Bahir Dar city in Ethiopia. A systematic random sampling method and an English version of self-administered questionnaires were used to collect the data. The data were entered into Epi Data and analyzed using SPSS version 25. Results: The study recruited 422 nurses, with a response rate of 100%; 248 (58.8%) and 264 (62.2%) of the nurses had good knowledge and practice, respectively. Slightly more than half (57.6%) of the nurses had a positive attitude. Nurses who worked in an emergency and intensive care unit had twice the odds of having more knowledge and practice than those who worked in an outpatient department (AOR = 2.1, CI: (1.019, 4.540), Conclusion: Slightly more than half of nurses had good knowledge, practice, and a positive attitude. Educational status, working in an emergency department, and having training in poison management have been significantly associated with the knowledge and practice of nurses. The authors recommended that there is a need to empower the attitude, knowledge, and practice of nurses through consistent training, accessing, and updating guidelines (poisoning management protocol). The author also suggested that the poison management protocol be incorporated into the Ethiopian nursing curriculum (certificates).
