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
Objective: To investigate the knowledge, attitudes, and practice (KAP) toward first-line antitubercular agents among patients with pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) in southwestern China, and to examine sociodemographic disparities in KAP. Methods: A simple sampling survey was conducted among TB patients clinically diagnosed with active pulmonary TB at the Ninth People's Hospital of Chongqing. The questionnaire was used to collect demographic, knowledge, attitude, and practice data on first-line TB drugs. Results: A total of 188 respondents were included in the analysis, of whom 129 were males and 59 were females, 44.7% scored below the median knowledge score 7 (4,8). Lower knowledge was seen in those aged ≥60 (P=0.001), earning <1000 yuan/month (P=0.049), with ≤secondary education (P<0.001), farmers (P=0.015), and single-drug users (P<0.001). Attitude scores were lower in older (P=0.001), less-educated (P<0.001), and farming populations (P=0.004). Non-adherent behaviors (18.1%) and missed dose compensation (47.3%) were more common in males (P=0.005), older adults (P=0.026), low-income (P=0.022), less-educated (P<0.001), farmers (P<0.001), and single-drug users (P=0.014). Conclusion: This study reveals significant differences and deficiencies in knowledge, attitude, and practice of first-line antitubercular drugs among patients with active pulmonary TB, with the most pronounced gaps observed among older adults, lower educational attainment, and farmers.
