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
backgroundThe incidence of dysphagia after anterior cervical spine surgery is high, which directly affects the quality of life of patients after surgery. The knowledge, attitude, and behavior of nurses can affect the identification and management of patients after anterior cervical spine surgery. Therefore, we need a survey to understand the current status of nurses' knowledge, attitude, and behavior towards dysphagia after anterior cervical spine surgery.
objectiveTo investigate the knowledge, attitude, and behaviour of orthopaedic nurses towards patients with dysphagia after anterior cervical spine surgery and provide recommendations for management and intervention.
methodAn online cross-sectional survey was conducted between March and June 2023, which among 894 orthopaedic nurses from 36 tertiary hospitals in Chongqing using a questionnaire. The questionnaire included general information and knowledge, attitudes, and behaviours related to the management of dysphagia after anterior cervical surgery.
resultsThe orthopaedic nurses' mean score for dysphagia-related knowledge was 16.1 ± 3.640 (out of a total score of 30). The orthopaedic nurses' mean score for dysphagia-related attitude was 32.5 ± 4.623 (out of a total score of 40). The orthopaedic nurses' mean score for dysphagia-related behaviour was 43.6 ± 11.513 (out of a total score of 60). The results of statistical analysis showed that the dysphagia after anterior cervical spine surgery -related knowledge scores differed significantly among the nurses according to, education level, and training (P < 0.05). Correlation analysis showed that there was a positive correlation between the knowledge, attitude, and behaviour scores of neurological nurses and swallowing disorders after anterior cervical surgery (P < 0.05).
conclusionTargeted knowledge and skills training should be carried out to improve the rules and regulations for dysphagia after anterior cervical spine surgery. Multidisciplinary team cooperation is needed, and dietary service processes and management standards should be improved to improve the management ability of orthopaedic nurses for dysphagia after anterior cervical spine surgery.
