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
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the Iranian ophthalmologists' knowledge of prescribing prophylactic antibiotics to patients with open globe injury (OGI) in Iran. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, we utilized a questionnaire to evaluate the ophthalmologists' knowledge about prescribing antibiotics as prophylaxis. This survey was conducted in Tehran and its suburbs. The questionnaire included demographic information as well as ophthalmologists' knowledge levels. Cronbach's alpha was used to determine its validity and reliability. The obtained data were analyzed using SPSS 24.0. Results: Of 192 subjects, 111 (35 women, 76 men) were included. About 65 (58.6%) specialists and 45 (41.4%) subspecialists with different orientations completed the questionnaires. The total knowledge score was 13.04±2.96. The following are the results of ophthalmologists' responses to questions regarding the cornea/scleral injury (1.09±1.72), prophylactic antibiotics administration (2.79±1.11), the infectious agents in eye surgeries (3.21±1.49), diagnosis and treatment (2.84±0.944), and the effects of ocular antibiotics as well as their proper dosage (2.96±2.35). There was no significant relationship between some demographic information such as sex, working hours, workplace, and the number of studied articles ( Conclusion: The findings indicated that the majority of ophthalmologists had a basic knowledge of prescribing prophylactic antibiotics in OGI.
