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: This study assessed the knowledge, attitude and extent of research involvement among resident doctors at a tertiary health facility in Osun state, Nigeria, and identified its associated factors. Methodology: This was a cross-sectional study of 199 resident doctors selected via a simple random sampling technique. A structured self-administered questionnaire was used to obtain data with the outcome variable being the resident doctors' total score on extent of research involvement. Data analysis was done using the Stata 17 software. Results: The respondents' mean age was 34.1±4.6. Only 34(39.1%) of those receiving mentorship in research ranked the support received as good, with majority 177(88.9%) still desirous of a mentor in research. About 121(60.8%) of the residents had good knowledge of basic research but only 58(29.2%) of them had a positive attitude towards research. Only 23(11.6%) reported confidence in research and needing no guidance. Their mean perceived research ability and extent of research involvement scores were 40.3±8.9 and 4.9±2.8 respectively. Their perceived ability to conduct research (β=0.10, 95% CI: 0.07 to 0.14, Conclusion: The majority of the resident doctors studied are poorly involved in research despite their knowledge of basic research, with a gross unmet need for guidance in conducting research. Innovative efforts are needed to link their knowledge about research to conducting one.
