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: To assess the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) regarding osteoporosis prevention among older adult patients following lumbar fusion surgery and identify associated factors. Patients and methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with participants aged ≥50 years. Data on demographic characteristics, KAP related to osteoporosis prevention, and lifestyle behaviors were collected using structured questionnaires. Chi-square tests were performed to explore associations between demographic variables and knowledge levels. Results: A total of 217 participants were included in the study. Participants demonstrated varying levels of knowledge, with 28.6% scoring high on the OPAAT. Female gender, higher educational attainment, urban residence, and diabetes were significantly associated with higher knowledge levels. Positive lifestyle practices, such as calcium and vitamin D supplementation, were observed in 64.5% and 41.0% of participants, respectively, while regular outdoor exercise and dairy product consumption were less common. Conclusion: The findings highlight gaps in osteoporosis prevention KAP among older adult patients following lumbar fusion surgery. Tailored educational programs and interventions are necessary to enhance awareness and promote healthier behaviors.
