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
The increasing migration to Catalonia-where migrants represent 17.24% of the population-underscores the importance of strengthening healthcare professionals' cultural competence. This study evaluates healthcare workers' self-perceived knowledge, skills, attitudes, training, and comfort in this area.A cross-sectional, multicenter study was carried out in 93 primary care centers and 1 hospital located in the northern metropolitan area of Barcelona. The CCCTQ-pre questionnaire, consisting of 67 items distributed across 5 dimensions, was employed. A total of 750 responses were obtained from an estimated population of 5400 healthcare professionals. Data were analyzed using R software, with results disaggregated by sex.Results indicate that the majority of respondents were female (79.9%), with Spanish nationality (94.9%), and held a permanent position (55.5%). Positive correlations were observed between knowledge, skills, and comfort, with attitudes being the highest-rated dimension. Younger, newly incorporated, or migrant professionals scored higher in attitudes and training. No significant differences were found between centers with high or low migration rates.The findings highlight the need to enhance healthcare professionals cultural training and to adapt institutional policies to the evolving social context. Strengthening education on the social determinants of health and the axes of inequality is essential for promoting culturally competent healthcare services. Given that 17.24% of the population in Catalonia is of migrant origin, improving the cultural competence of healthcare personnel is increasingly necessary. This study assesses healthcare professionals' self-perceived knowledge, skills, attitudes, training, and comfort in this area.
