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
Background: This study aimed to investigate whether the application of multifunctional endoscope transport carts, in bedside endoscopy in intensive care unit (ICU) patients, can improve the cleaning quality of the endoscopes. Methods: A total of 175 endoscopes, used for bedside endoscopy in ICU patients in a hospital in China during November 2023 to January 2024, were randomly classified into the control group (n=88) and the experimental group (n=87). Multifunctional transport carts were used to deliver the endoscopes in the experimental group and traditionally used transport trolleys were used in the control group. Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) tests were performed to measure the relative light unit (RLU) values for the outer surfaces and forceps channels of the endoscopes, and a satisfaction survey was conducted with nurses who used the endoscope transport trolleys/carts and the endoscope cleaning staff. Results: The ATP values for the outer surfaces and forceps channels of the endoscopes in the experimental group were 10.0 (6.0, 17.0) RLU and 7.0 (4.0, 11.0) RLU, respectively, lower than 33.5 (9.3, 77.0) RLU for outer surfaces and 14.0 (5.0, 39.8) RLU for forceps channels in the control group. The pass rates for cleaning quality of the outer surfaces and channels of the endoscopes in the experimental group were 98.9% and 100%, respectively, higher than 88.6% for outer surfaces and 93.2% for channels in the control group ( Conclusion: The application of multifunctional endoscope transport carts in bedside endoscopy in ICU patients could improve the quality of endoscope cleaning.
