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: On January 8, 2023, a change in the control policy for COVID-19 was implemented in China, whereby patient self-management of fever typically entails the utilization of over-the-counter fever-reducing medications. Objective: This study aimed to investigate the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) toward over-the-counter (OTC) antipyretics among fever patients. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted between October 2022 and February 2023 at author's hospital in Wuhan, China, among fever patients on OTC antipyretics, using a self-administered questionnaire. Results: A total of 481 valid questionnaires were collected, with the age of 36.05 ± 12.10 years, including 240 (49.90%) males, and 209 (43.45%) collected before policy change. The knowledge, attitudes, precautions for medication administration and decision-making practices scores were 6.86 ± 3.30 (possible range: 0-12), 16.67 ± 2.46 (possible range: 7-35), 29.98 ± 5.41 (possible range: 7-35) and 27.87 ± 1.28 (possible range: 8-40), respectively. The multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that knowledge (OR = 0.83, 95%CI: 0.81-0.92, Conclusion: Fever patients had moderate knowledge, negative attitude, proactive precautions for medication administration practices, moderate decision-making practices. After the policy change, there was a significant increase in knowledge regarding medication administration precautions and decision-making.
