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
Introduction: Understanding the knowledge, risk behaviors, and psychological health of people who use drugs (PWUDs) is critical for Hepatitis C (HCV) elimination. This study aimed to assess these factors among PWUDs in a Drug Rehabilitation Center by comparing HCV-positive and HCV-negative individuals. Method: A total of 127 participants over 18 years (58 HCV-positive and 69 HCV-negative) were selected from the Lantian Drug Rehabilitation Center from April to June 2023. Data were collected through a descriptive, cross-sectional questionnaire (HCV awareness, HCV knowledge, SCL-90 tests) and laboratory blood tests, with which inferential and descriptive statistical analyses were performed. Results: Of the 127 participants, 58 (45.7%) were HCV-positive. A significant portion of both HCV-positive (31.0%) and HCV-negative (66.7%) individuals were unaware of their status prior to testing ( Conclusion: Educational programs in rehabilitation centers appear effective in raising general HCV awareness, significant gaps in knowledge about community-based transmission routes persist. The profound psychological distress observed among HCV-positive PWUDs, coupled with the high rate of status unawareness, underscores the urgent need for integrated care models that address both virological treatment and mental health support.
