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: Exercise therapy could improve physical and psychological health in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). This study aimed to investigate knowledge, attitudes and practices (KAP) towards exercise therapy among patients with CKD stage 5 on regular hemodialysis. Methods: The cross-sectional study was conducted between August 1st and 30th, 2023; KAP and demographic characteristics of CKD-5 patients were assessed with self-distributed questionnaire and analyzed using logistic regression and structural equation modeling (SEM). A higher score represented better knowledge, more positive attitude, and more proactive practice. Results: In 513 collected questionnaires, mean scores for knowledge, attitudes, and practices were 9.5 ± 4.1 (possible range: 0-13), 31.9 ± 5.0 (possible range: 9-45), and 21.7 ± 9.3 (possible range: 9-45). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that education (OR = 1.8, 95% CI: 1.1-3.0, P = 0.02), income (OR = 1.7, 95% CI: 1.1-2.6, P = 0.02), and family support (OR = 3.8, 95% CI: 2.0-7.1, P < 0.001) were independently associated with higher knowledge scores. Knowledge score (OR = 5.1, 95% CI: 1.7-15.1, P < 0.001) and attitude score (OR = 7.3, 95% CI: 3.7-14.2, P < 0.001) were independently associated with higher practice scores. According to SEM, knowledge directly influenced attitude (β=1.3, P < 0.001), while attitude influenced practice (β=0.8, P < 0.001). Conclusion: Patients with CKD-5 who underwent regular hemodialysis demonstrated insufficient knowledge, passive attitude and inactive practices towards exercise therapy. Improving knowledge and attitude through educational interventions might result in better practice.
