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
Introduction: This study aimed to evaluate the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) concerning nutritional management. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted between June and August 2024, involving COPD patients from six hospitals in Jingzhou. Demographic information and KAP scores were collected and analyzed using a self-developed questionnaire. Results: A total of 411 valid cases were collected, with a valid response rate of 86.16%. Of the participants, 319 (77.62%) were male, 115 (27.98%) had been diagnosed with COPD for more than 10 years, and 316 (76.89%) had received education on nutritional management. The average scores for knowledge, attitudes, and practices were 7.19±5.13 (range: 0-18), 24.81±4.43 (range: 8-40), and 19.51±5.68 (range: 7-35), respectively. Correlation analysis indicated significant positive relationships between knowledge and attitudes (r = 0.629, Conclusion: Patients with COPD demonstrated inadequate knowledge, negative attitudes, and inactive practices regarding nutritional management, highlighting a significant gap in effective dietary education. To enhance clinical outcomes, healthcare providers should implement targeted educational programs that emphasize the importance of nutritional management for COPD patients.
