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: The Fresno test is a useful instrument for measuring the evidence-based medicine (EBM) competence of family physicians and others. This study aimed to develop a Japanese version of the Fresno test. Methods: First, the original version of the Fresno test was translated into Japanese following the standard instrument translation procedure. Subsequently, family medicine residents and certified physicians took the Japanese version of the Fresno test to assess its validity and reliability. Results: Translation of the Fresno test into Japanese was completed successfully. A total of 39 participants took the test to verify reliability and validity. Family medicine specialists scored higher than majors (129.7 ± 36.0 vs. 100.6 ± 45.1, Conclusions: This study successfully developed a Japanese version of the Fresno test. This test has sufficient reliability and validity and is expected to be useful as an instrument in EBM education for physicians in the future.
