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: Anesthesia assessment outpatient clinics (AAOCs) can help personalize the anesthesia experience, alleviate anesthesia-related anxiety, and offer health management advice. This study investigated the knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) of patients from the anesthesia clinic in Jinshan District, Shanghai, China, regarding AAOCs. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted from July 10, 2023, to October 15, 2023, at Jinshan Hospital affiliated to Fudan University. The final version of the questionnaire included four dimensions: demographic information, knowledge dimension (seven items, scores 0-7), attitude dimension (six items, scores 6-30), and practice dimension (six items, scores 6-30). The Cronbach's α was 0.935. The risk factors for the practice dimension were examined through univariable and multivariable logistic regression. The relationships among the KAP dimensions were explored using a structural equation model (SEM). Results: A total of 531 questionnaires were included for analysis. The mean knowledge score was 5.5±1.9 (/7 points, 79.0%). The mean attitude score was 26.3±3.7 (/30, 87.8%). The mean practice score was 25.5±3.4 (/30, 85.0%). However, still over 10% of participants did not recognize AAOCs' ability to alleviate anesthesia-related fears and did not believe AAOCs affect future health management. The knowledge scores correlated to the attitude (r=0.401, P<0.001) and practice (r=0.379, P<0.001) scores, while the attitude scores correlated to the practice scores (r=0.742, P<0.001). The SEM showed that knowledge influenced attitude (β=2.409, P<0.001), while attitude influenced practice (β=0.721, P<0.001). The attitude scores (OR=2.055, 95% CI: 1.756-2.404, P<0.001) and personal/relative/friend experience with AAOCs (OR=2.771, 95% CI: 1.002-7.664, P=0.050) were independently associated with the practice scores. Conclusion: Patients in Jinshan District had a good KAP toward AAOCs. Improving knowledge of AAOCs should improve attitudes and the use of AAOCs to improve the patient experience and outcomes of anesthesia.
