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 Psoriasis is an autoimmune disease characterized by the typical appearance of red, thickened, scaly patches on the skin (plaques). These plaques can vary in size and distribution from person to person. In some individuals, it may affect small areas of skin, while in others, large areas covering their body may be involved. Patients with psoriasis might be identified by pediatricians before being seen by dermatologists, highlighting the need for pediatricians to be aware and knowledgeable about pediatric psoriasis. Objective To evaluate the knowledge and management of pediatric psoriasis among pediatricians and pediatric residents in the Makkah region, Saudi Arabia. Methods This was a cross-sectional study using a questionnaire targeted at pediatricians. It inquired about sociodemographic details, knowledge of psoriasis risk factors, diagnosis, management, comorbidity screening, and indications for consulting a dermatologist. The knowledge score cut-off was set at 60%, with scores below this threshold considered indicative of poor knowledge and scores above it reflecting good knowledge. Results A total of 139 participants completed the questionnaire; 103 (74.1%) were from Jeddah, 101 (72.7%) were pediatric residents, 118 (84.9%) were general pediatricians, and 18 (15.1%) were in subspecialties. About a third, 49 (35.3%), reported having seen a child with psoriasis. Most participants, 84 (60.4%), had a good knowledge level regarding psoriasis. The vast majority, 119 (85.6%), stated that topical therapies are the first-line treatment; 105 (75.5%) reported being confident in diagnosing psoriasis, and having previously seen a patient with psoriasis was associated with certainty in diagnosis (p-value=0.048); 82 (59%) referred patients to dermatologists. Physician position (p-value=0.049) and being in a general specialty (p-value=0.048) were associated with higher knowledge. Conclusion Overall, participants had good knowledge of pediatric psoriasis and its management. However, there is still a need for improvement.
