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
Objectives: To improve survey efficiency and reduce the burden on respondents, the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) transitioned selected Health Interview Survey items from face-to-face interviews to a self-administered format by 2022 for respondents aged 19 to 60 years. This study evaluates the impact of this methodological change by analyzing data from 2021 and 2022, focusing on seven health indicators among the 24 items affected by the transition. Methods: Survey participants were divided into two groups: those under 60 years of age, who completed self-administered online surveys, and those aged 60 years and older, who participated in face-to-face interviews. We performed comparative analyses using the Rao-Scott chi-square test and t-test to assess differences across survey years. Results: Findings showed that the monthly sickbed experience and annual hospitalization rates remained stable over the years, while activity limitation rates increased in both age groups. In the group under 60, outpatient utilization and influenza vaccination rates declined, whereas unmet medical needs and monthly absence rates increased. These changes were not observed in the group aged 60 and over. Notably, similar trends emerged in health screening rates, despite no changes in survey methodology, indicating that some differences may stem from external factors rather than the survey mode alone. Conclusions: Differences in the 2022 survey results for respondents under 60 years of age reflect both methodological changes and socio-environmental factors compared to 2021. The self-administered method resulted in lower non-response rates, indicating greater efficiency, but also posing potential risks of misinterpretation. Structural improvements to the questionnaire and ongoing monitoring are essential to maintaining the validity, reliability, and consistency of KNHANES data.
