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
Dysphagia is a prevalent swallowing dysfunction in cancer patients. Due to its life-threatening complications, early diagnosis and management are essential. Improving the knowledge (K) and attitude (A) of the medical staff potentially affects their practice (P). Conducting KAP studies is one way to find gaps in delivering patient care. This study aimed to investigate the KAP of healthcare providers working with cancer patients to find the gaps and create a basis for educational policies to improve the quality of care in the future. This is a cross-sectional study in which 147 healthcare providers in the oncology wards were enrolled. KAP of the participants was assessed by a validated and reliable researcher-made questionnaire. The mean score of knowledge was 14.95 ± 2.41 out of 38. A few participants (2.7%) were able to recognize all the symptoms of dysphagia. Half of the participants wrote their recommendations to the patients. The most prevalent recommendations were using soft and pureed food (65.4%) and decreasing the volume of the food (34.6%). There was a positive correlation between the score of the knowledge and mentioning the symptoms for diagnosis (
