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
Orthopedic and vascular surgeries carry a high risk of postoperative deep vein thrombosis (DVT). This cross-sectional study assessed the knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) of orthopedists, vascular surgeons, and anesthesiologists regarding postoperative DVT prevention in surgical patients. The study was performed at two hospitals in China from November 22 to December 13, 2023. Demographic information and KAP data were collected using a self-administered questionnaire. Among 294 doctors, 187 (63.61%) were male, and 248 (84.35%) had prior experience in orthopedic surgeries. Mean scores for knowledge, attitude, and practice were 9.94 ± 1.91, 37.12 ± 2.94, and 23.02 ± 3.64, respectively. Knowledge was correlated to attitude (r = 0.182, P = 0.002), knowledge to practice (r = 0.234, P < 0.001), and attitude to practice (r = 0.281, P < 0.001). Attitude score (OR = 1.249, 95% CI: [1.127-1.385], P < 0.001) and anesthesiology work (OR = 0.309, 95% CI: [0.158-0.603], P = 0.001) were independently associated with proactive practice. Structural equation modeling confirmed direct impacts of knowledge on attitude (β = 0.894, P < 0.001) and practice (β = 1.786, P < 0.001) and of attitude on practice (β = 0.338, P = 0.017). In conclusion, orthopedists, vascular surgeons, and anesthesiologists showed good knowledge, attitude, and practice toward DVT prevention in surgical patients in two hospitals in China.
