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.

Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 26 was used for data analysis. Knowledge was categoried into low and high knowledge, two, less than 50% had low knowledge and above 50% had high knowledge. Inferential analysis using a logistic regression model was used to establish factors associated with knowledge. Results: The study revealed that more than half of interviewed nurses 129(73.3%) had high knowledge while 47(26.7%) had low knowledge on management of preeclampsia/Eclampsia. After controlling for confounders, factors associated with knowledge were nurse who got On job training on Preeclampsia/Eclampsia management.
