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
Purpose: The study aims to analyze whether having a specialty certification (SC) among intensive care unit (ICU) nurses is associated with their knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding oral care and related complications during hospitalization. Patients and Methods: This cross-sectional study included 188 ICU nurses in Eskisehir, Turkey, between April and June 2021. A 20-item questionnaire was used to assess demographic data, knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding oral care. Chi-square tests (p = 0.05) were used to analyze relationships. Results: A highly significant proportion of nurses having SC were satisfied with the level of oral hygiene instructions they had received, Conclusion: Having SC significantly affects ICU nurses' ability and willingness to prioritize oral care to improve patients' oral hygiene.
