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
backgroundCentral venous catheters (CVCs) are known to be associated with risks of complications such as infections and hemorrhages. Good nurses' knowledge and management are essential in limiting these risks. Therefore, the investigators felt a real need to assess the staff nurses' knowledge regarding preventing CVC complications. MATERIALS AND
methodsA descriptive design study, A nonprobability purposive sample of 60 nurses from different educational levels in Baghdad Teaching Hospitals, data were collected using tools as follows self-administered nurses' questionnaire composed of two-part, Part I: consisted of the nurse's demographic data, Part II: consisted of the nurse's knowledge test regarding central venous catheter complication Comprising (30 MCQ)), this questionnaire assessed knowledge by giving two scores for each corrected answer, and one score for incorrect answered. Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 25.0 was used for data analysis.
resultsThe results showed the majority of the study sample was female (76.7%), with (78.3%) aged between 21 and 30 years. that the majority of participants were well-informed about the prevention of CVC complications, with 93.3% obtaining information from the Internet and social networking sites, the average score of knowledge (53.7%) of nurses exhibited good knowledge about preventing CVC complications, with (40.0%) having poor knowledge.
conclusionsThere is a need to conduct training courses for nurses who work in intensive care units about the prevention of CVC complications based on standards as the results in this study indicated that there is a significant association between, nurses' knowledge and participation in training course, about prevention of CVC complications.
