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
objectivesSome previous studies examined the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) toward prenatal genetic testing of the fetus but not toward blood chromosomal testing in the preconception and premarital period. This study investigated the KAP of the general population regarding peripheral blood chromosomal testing in the premarital or preconception period.
designA cross-sectional study.
settingFrom October 2023 to December 2023 at the authors' hospital.
participantsEnrolled individuals who participated in free premarital medical examinations and free prepregnancy health examinations. PRIMARY AND SECONDARY OUTCOME MEASURES: A self-designed questionnaire (Cronbach's α = 0.917) was used to collect the demographic information and KAP scores. KAP scores across variable categories were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U test or Kruskal-Wallis H test. Correlations between KAP scores were evaluated by Pearson correlation analysis. Factors associated with KAP were identified by multivariable logistic regression.
resultsThis study included 630 valid questionnaires. The mean knowledge, attitude, and practice scores were 18.90 ± 4.48 (/30, 63.00%), 40.99 ± 5.32 (/50, 81.98%), and 37.66 ± 4.43 (/45, 83.69%), respectively. The knowledge scores were similar between genders (p = 0.840). Compared with males, females had higher attitude scores (42.01 ± 5.40 vs. 40.01 ± 5.07, p < 0.001) and higher practice scores (38.17 ± 4.44 vs. 37.18 ± 4.37, p = 0.013). There were no significant differences between genders regarding the frequencies of having undergone chromosomal testing and recommending it to the partner. The knowledge scores (OR = 1.060, 95% CI: 1.018-1.103, p = 0.004) and attitude scores (OR = 1.198, 95% CI: 1.154-1.244, p < 0.001) were positively independently associated with the practice scores.
conclusionsThe general population in Hangzhou displays poor knowledge but favorable attitudes and proactive practices regarding peripheral blood chromosomal testing in the premarital or preconception period. Cultivating proper knowledge and attitude should improve practice.
