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) related to weight management among overweight or obese patients. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in May 2024 at the First Hospital of Zhangjiakou, focusing on overweight or obese patients. Self-administered questionnaires were used to collect demographic data and assess participants' KAP scores. Results: A total of 527 valid responses were obtained, with 299 (56.74%) respondents being female. The mean scores for knowledge, attitudes, and practices were 6.09 ± 2.93 (possible range: 0-11), 22.79 ± 3.02 (possible range: 8-40), and 32.89 ± 9.72 (possible range: 9-45), respectively. Correlation analysis revealed a significant positive relationship between knowledge and practices ( Conclusions: Overweight or obese patients demonstrated inadequate knowledge, negative attitudes, and proactive practices toward weight management. These findings highlight the need for targeted educational interventions to enhance weight management knowledge and foster positive attitudes, ultimately leading to improved health practices within this population.
