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.

resultsA KAP questionnaire with 24 items categorized under three domains knowledge, attitude, and practices was developed. The KAP sections have 12, 5, and 7 items, respectively. The Content validity ratio (CVR) of our questionnaire was 0.>0.49, Item -Content Validity Index (I-CVI) was 0.78, Scale content Validity Index average (SCVI a) was 0.9. indicating that all items of the questionnaire could be retained. The Independent Cronbach's α for KAP domains were 0.658, 0.731, and 0.522, respectively, and for the total questionnaire was 0 0.730, indicating good internal consistency.
conclusionThe developed questionnaire will help achieve a better understanding of the caretakers' KAP about risk factors in otitis media in children. This RFOMQ-24 has satisfactory validity and good internal consistency.
