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 and Aims: Rheumatoid arthritis is still poorly understood by medical personnel in sub-Saharan Africa, resulting in significant diagnostic delays. The aim of this study was to assess the knowledge, attitudes and practices of general practitioners and nonrheumatologist specialists regarding rheumatoid arthritis. Methods: This was a descriptive and analytical cross-sectional study from January 22 to February 22, 2024. Data were collected using an online self-administered questionnaire from general practitioners and nonrheumatology specialists practicing in Burkina Faso. The association between variables was tested using the chi-squared test. The significance level was set at 5%. Results: One hundred and forty-five physicians completed the questionnaire. The mean age of the participants was 32.01 ± 4.066 [25; 47] years. The proportion of men was 62.10% (90). The proportion of general practitioners was 61.40% (89). The mean knowledge score was 12.51 ± 2.741 [4; 18] out of 20. Of the 145 physicians who completed the questionnaire, 22.76% (33) were confronted with rheumatoid arthritis in their practice. The mean attitude score was 9.64 ± 3.389 (3 - 16) out of 20. The mean practice score was 14.76 ± 2.292 (9 - 19) out of 20. Physicians with average/good knowledge had no idea about biotherapy in 72.90% (62) of the cases, compared to 27.10% (23) who had an idea about biotherapy ( Conclusion: The majority of participants had an acceptable level of knowledge, attitude and practice regarding rheumatoid arthritis.
