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: Chronic gastritis affects more than half of the global population to varying extents. Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) of patients admitted to the gastroenterology department in the Shanxi region concerning chronic gastritis. Methods: This study was conducted in Shanxi between April and July 2023. The participants were enrolled when they consulted at the clinic. Demographic characteristics and KAP scores were collected through a self-administered questionnaire. KAP scores >60% were considered good. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was utilized to examine the relationships among the dimensions of knowledge, attitude, and practice. Results: A total of 416 valid questionnaires were collected. The median knowledge score was 28 (0-60) (with possible values of 0-60), the median attitude score was 60 (28-77) (with possible values of 16-80), and the median practice score was 45 (12-60) (with possible values of 12-60). Hence, 133, 379, and 343 participants had knowledge, attitude, and practice scores, respectively, above the 60% threshold. Significant positive correlations were found between knowledge and attitude (r=0.300, P<0.001), knowledge and practice (r = 0.297, P<0.001), and attitude and practice (r=0.353, P=0.004) through correlation analysis. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) revealed that knowledge directly and significantly influenced attitude (β=0.643, P<0.001), as well as practice (β=0.095, P=0.034), and attitude had a direct effect on practice (β=0.094, P=0.009). Conclusion: Insufficient knowledge, positive attitudes, and proactive practices concerning chronic gastritis were observed in patients in the gastroenterology department. Prioritizing patient education and addressing patient attitudes during clinical consultations can enhance healthcare practices and improve the management of chronic gastritis.
