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 assess the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) of caregivers of functionally disabled older adults regarding nutritional management. Methods: A multicenter cross-sectional survey was conducted on caregivers of functionally disabled older adults between April and June 2025 across Guangdong, Guangxi, and Hunan Province, utilizing an online questionnaire to collect demographic information and evaluate knowledge and practice scores. In this study, caregiver burden measured by the Zarit Burden Interview Short Form (ZBI-12) was defined as the attitudinal construct within the KAP framework. Structural equation model (SEM) was constructed to evaluate the interrelationships among the KAP. Results: A total of 550 valid responses were included, yielding an effective response rate of 86.21%. The majority of respondents were female (71.09%). The mean knowledge, attitude, and practice scores were 15.30 ± 6.23 (possible range: 0-24), 18.53 ± 10.01 (possible range: 0-48), and 33.44 ± 7.01 (possible range: 9-45), respectively. SEM indicated significant associations from knowledge to attitude ( Conclusion: Caregivers of functionally disabled older adults demonstrated limited knowledge, moderate attitudes, and proactive practices in nutritional management. Intervention strategies should prioritize targeted educational support that enhances caregivers' nutritional knowledge while simultaneously addressing attitudinal barriers and caregiver burden to optimize caregiving behaviors.
