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: COVID-19 has become a global pandemic, which necessitates that health workers be capable of protecting themselves and their patients. This article aimed to describe knowledge levels, attitudes, behaviors and training needs regarding COVID-19 among obstetric and gynecological nurses in medium-risk areas during the pandemic. Method: A cross-sectional survey of obstetric and gynecological nurses in medium-risk areas was performed during the peak period of the pandemic in China. The main survey tool was the self-designed COVID-19 Knowledge, Attitude, Behavior and Training Needs Questionnaire. Pearson correlation analysis was conducted to analyze the relationships among knowledge, attitudes, behaviors and training needs. Results: A total of 599 nurses were recruited, of whom 27.7% failed the knowledge part of the questionnaire. Positive correlations were found between knowledge and attitudes (r = 0.100, P = 0.015) and between attitudes and behaviors (r = 0.352, P = 0.000) regarding occupational protection against COVID-19. A total of 88.5% of nurses preferred online training to traditional training, and more than 70% believed that demonstration of and training in operations by their own department were effective ways to learn about how to protect themselves against COVID-19. Conclusion: The higher the level of knowledge about the disease was, the more positive the attitude toward occupational protection, and consequently, the more actively protective behaviors were adopted. Training affected nurses' knowledge of COVID-19 occupational protection and promoted positive attitudes, which further facilitated the effective prevention and control of the disease. Online training with demonstrations are recommended for COVID-19 training of nurses.
