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
Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) regarding floaters among patients with floaters. Methods: This cross-sectional study enrolled participants diagnosed with floaters between April 2023 and October 2023 in Weifang, China. Demographic information and KAP regarding floaters were collected via web-based questionnaires. Results: A total of 430 respondents were included, with 251 (58.37%) females. Of the respondents, 270 (62.79%) experienced their first episode of floaters for less than 1 year. Mean knowledge, attitude, and practice scores were 8.81 ± 4.20 (possible range: 0-13), 17.23 ± 5.05 (possible range: 6-30), and 14.67 ± 2.95 (possible range: 4-20), respectively. Correlation analyses revealed a significant positive relationship between knowledge and practices ( Conclusion: Patients demonstrated suboptimal knowledge and negative attitudes, but many engaged in proactive practices to manage floaters. Interventions focusing on enhancing knowledge and fostering positive attitudes among individuals with floaters are recommended to improve clinical practices.
