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: Mpox has shown a westward spreading trend in China and university students are a high-risk group. This study aimed to assess the current status of Mpox-related knowledge, attitudes, vaccination willingness, and associated factors among college students in northwestern China, so as to provide a basis for formulating targeted prevention and control strategies. Methods: A cross-sectional survey utilizing a structured questionnaire was administered to students from nine higher education institutions in northwestern China between October 1 and 14, 2024. Results: The study sample comprised 3,483 university students, of whom 56.90% were female, 84.81% identified as Han ethnicity, 60.03% resided in rural areas, 52.89% were younger than 20 years, and 57.45% were enrolled in medical-related majors. The median Mpox knowledge score (Kscore) was 10, with only 33.68% classified into the high-score group (>11). Kscore was significantly higher among female, medical major, and urban residents, whereas smokers and alcohol consumers exhibited lower scores (all Conclusion: College students in northwestern China have insufficient Mpox knowledge but high vaccination acceptance. Targeted health education interventions should be implemented via new media platforms, focusing on male students, rural residents, and alcohol consumers, to enhance understanding of transmission routes and vaccine safety, reduce stigma, and strengthen Mpox prevention and control among young people in northwestern China.
