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
Objective: This study aimed to construct a national norm for the Chinese version of the Hand Hygiene Behavior Questionnaire (HHBQ-C) among medical staff in tertiary general hospitals in China and to provide a basis for assessing the current status and influencing factors of hand hygiene practices among medical staff. Methods: Using a stratified random sampling method, a total of 3,000 medical staff from 12 provinces across three regions of China, eastern, central, and western, were selected as research subjects between April 2023 and June 2023. Each region included four provinces. The General Information Questionnaire and the HHBQ-C were used to evaluate the medical staff. Norms for means, percentiles, demarcation, and classification were established. Results: A total of 2,793 medical staff were included in this study. Gender and age were used to establish the mean norms of the HHBQ-C. Based on the results of the single-factor analysis, classification norms were established by selecting the characteristics that showed significant differences, namely age, occupation, work pressure, and workload. Percentile norms were established at 5% intervals. The scores on the HHBQ-C were divided into four grades: low, medium, high, and very high. Conclusion: The established national norms for the HHBQ-C in tertiary hospitals provide a solid basis for evaluating influencing factors and guiding targeted interventions to improve hand hygiene compliance and reduce HCAIs.
