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
Aim and background: Tracheostomy is a commonly conducted surgical intervention in intensive care settings, and many complications result from tracheostomy. The use of an evidence-based methodology for tracheostomy care can effectively mitigate the occurrence of complications. This study aimed to assess tracheostomy complications among patients, determine nurses' knowledge and practice of tracheostomy care, and evaluate the effectiveness of a tracheostomy care protocol (TCP) in terms of improving knowledge and practice of tracheostomy care and reducing complications among patients. Materials and methods: To conduct this study, a quasi-experimental research design was selected. Ninety-eight intensive care nurses were divided into two groups, with 49 nurses in each group. The experimental group received an intervention, and both groups underwent pre- and posttests using tools related to tracheostomy care knowledge and practice checklists. Complications among patients were observed using a tracheostomy complication checklist. Data analysis involved both descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: This study identified complications, including bleeding, tube obstruction, hypoxia, and local wound site infection, among tracheostomy patients. About 49% of the nurses in the experimental group and 34.7% in the control group had poor knowledge. There was a statistically significant difference in pre- and postintervention knowledge and practice scores between the groups ( Conclusion: This study revealed a gap in participants' knowledge and practices regarding tracheostomy care. After the TCP was implemented, intensive care nurses improved their knowledge and practices. Postintervention, the number of complications and the length of hospital stay among patients were reduced.
