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
Background and Aims: The recent emergence and rapid spread of monkeypox (Mpox) have become a global public health concern. Gaps in proper information dissemination can cause confusion and knowledge divergence among the general public, leading to difficulties in disease management. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the overall knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) regarding Mpox among the general population of Bangladesh to help implement optimal public health interventions. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted using an online questionnaire survey to evaluate the KAP related to Mpox among the general population of Bangladesh. A total of 1025 KAP domains were registered during the survey, among which 938 were eligible for final analysis. Comparisons between different groups were performed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank and the Kruskal-Wallis test. Additionally, a multivariable logistic regression analysis was conducted to identify factors associated with williness to practice preventive behaviours against Mpox. Results: Only 7.25% (68/938) of participants demonstrated good knowledge, 20.58% (193/938) had positive attitudes, and 25.05% (235/938) were willing to practice preventive measures toward Mpox prevention, indicating overall inadequate KAP levels. The Kruskal-Wallis test revealed statistically significant differences in knowledge scores based on education level ( Conclusion: The low KAP scores suggest an urgent need for mass awareness campaigns for Mpox prevention in Bangladesh. The findings of this study could assist policymakers in taking necessary steps to mitigate the potential public health burden associated with Mpox in the country.
