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.

Abstract
backgroundFor patients who have apparent disfigurement of the eye, ocular prostheses are an essential kind of treatment. Students from medical colleges can play a major role in sensitizing needy patients to the availability of prosthetic devices for the correction of eye disfiguration. To do this, they must be reasonably aware and knowledgeable about the availability, functioning and general aspects of ocular prosthetics. The purpose of the study was to assess the awareness, knowledge, and attitude regarding ocular prosthetics in students studying allied health sciences (AHS), medicine, and nursing. MATERIALS AND
methodsA cross-sectional descriptive study was carried out using a self-administered, closed-ended, structured questionnaire to gather information on awareness, knowledge and attitude towards ocular prosthetics from AHS, medical and nursing students of Goa.
resultsA total of 322 pupils took part in the study. The primary source of information included classroom lectures, workshops and conferences (46.0%), followed by internet resources and social media (33.5%). The knowledge and attitude differed significantly between AHS, medical, and nursing students. Overall, 3
conclusionsStudents had deficient knowledge of certain aspects of ocular prosthesis, indicating a need for education in the subject. The study also highlights how students' knowledge and attitude can influence the future of prosthetic rehabilitation.
