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
Introduction Road traffic accidents represent a major public health issue worldwide, accounting for thousands of deaths every day. First aid is an essential, necessary, and mandatory intervention, comprising the immediate measures provided at the scene of the accident by a bystander, aimed at preventing further deterioration, assisting, and supporting the victims with minimal material and human resources until professional medical care becomes available. This study aimed to assess the knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding first aid in the context of road traffic accidents among the Romanian population. Materials and methods An online questionnaire was developed and distributed to citizens via social networks. The questionnaire items addressed general and specific first aid questions. Results A total of 400 individuals responded to the questionnaire. More than half of the respondents report not having attended first aid courses (53.3%), and their knowledge level is medium (34.5%) or low (22.3%). For Section I, participants who had attended a first aid course achieved significantly higher scores on some items (e.g., first aid initiator: p=0.003, airway obstruction: p <0.001). For Section II, no significant differences were observed between groups in relation to rescuer safety (p=0.837) or victim relocation (p=0.025 - marginal significance). Additionally, a positive correlation was observed between the respondents' self-assessment of their level of first aid knowledge and the final score on the evaluation items (p=0.019; r
