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
objectiveTo assess the attitudes, skills, training, knowledge, barriers, facilitators and use of evidence-based practice (EBP) by chiropractic students and determine the variables important to perceptions of EBP.
methodsWe utilized the Evidence-Based practice Attitude and utilization SurvEy (EBASE) to achieve our stated objectives. In addition to descriptive statistics, we utilized a generalized linear model to determine the most highly significant items of the EBASE instrument that contributed towards overall EBP perception.
resultsA convenience sample of 163 chiropractic students comprised our study population. The majority of students (74%) were 20-29 years of age and achieved a baccalaureate degree or higher (80%) prior to chiropractic matriculation. The respondents indicated positive overall attitude and support of EBP but felt were inadequately trained in EBP and had poor skills in conducting clinical research and systematic reviews. Indicated barriers to EBP were lack of time and lack of clinical evidence for relevant studies. Access to the internet and databases, and ability to download full manuscripts were facilitators to the use of EBP. Generalized linear modelling identified the following as having a significant effect on overall positive EBP perception: confidence in applying research evidence to clinical practice, a lack of interest in EBP, membership in a professional association, quarter of study at institution, and access to tools to critically appraise existing research.
conclusionOur use of the EBASE questionnaire identified the attitudes, barriers and facilitators to the uptake of EBP by chiropractic students and those variables that contributed to overall EBP perception.
