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
objectiveTo explore the influence of education level on scores in the Mandarin Chinese version of the Rowland Universal Dementia Assessment Scale (RUDAS) among stroke patients and to provide guidance regarding the application and optimisation of the RUDAS.
methodsA total of 235 stroke patients were census sampled for an evaluation of cognitive function using the Mandarin Chinese version of the RUDAS. A test was carried out to analyze the differences in RUDAS scores between sexes, and one-way analysis of variance and the Scheffe multiple comparison test were used to analyze the differences in RUDAS scores between age groups and between education levels. SPSS 22.0 software was used for statistical analysis. Differential item functioning (DIF) analysis was performed using logistic regression. If P < 0.05, then an item was considered to exhibit DIF.
resultsThe overall education levels of the stroke patients were moderate. There was no significant difference in RUDAS scores based on education level or sex, but there was a difference between age groups. There were three items that exhibited DIF: square, internal line and external line.
conclusionRUDAS scores were not strongly influenced by education level, and most items were suitable for screening among stroke patients with different education levels. However, when drawing a cube, differences in education level should be taken into consideration.
