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
The management of pulmonary nodules involves self-management. This study, conducted in China between September and October 2022, explored the knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) towards pulmonary nodules among Chinese adults. The participants were enrolled through convenience sampling when they visited the hospital. The KAP questionnaire was developed by the investigators. Participants who received scores of ≥ 75% of the total score for each dimension were defined as good or positive, 50-75% as moderate, and ≤ 50% as poor or negative. A total of 1209 participants, with an average age of 38.7 years, completed a self-administered online questionnaire. The knowledge, attitude, and practice scores were 5.95 ± 3.54/12, 29.05 ± 4.04/40, and 23.72 ± 6.08/45, respectively, indicating poor knowledge, moderate attitude, and moderate practice regarding pulmonary nodules. The multivariable analyses showed significant associations among knowledge, attitudes, and practice. The mediation analysis indicated that knowledge, education, income, smoking habits, and awareness of pulmonary nodules influenced participants' practices. In conclusion, a significant population of adults in China had inadequate knowledge, attitude, and practice towards pulmonary nodules. Sufficient knowledge was associated with appropriate practices toward pulmonary nodules. Therefore, health education programs aimed at improving knowledge about pulmonary nodules may be helpful for encouraging appropriate attitudes and maintaining healthy practices.
