1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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: Listeriosis is a serious foodborne disease that threatens the health of pregnant women and their fetuses. Gansu Province, in northwest China, is economically underdeveloped and covers a large geographic area. No population-based studies on listeriosis have been conducted there. In 2022, Gansu added listeriosis to its foodborne disease surveillance system and started a pilot program at five tertiary hospitals in four cities. By the end of 2024, 13 confirmed cases had been reported, including three linked to pregnancy: one miscarriage and two preterm births at 27 weeks and 34 weeks plus 2 days, respectively. Objectives: This study aims to assess the clinical vigilance for listeriosis in Gansu Province and to investigate pregnant women's knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) regarding the disease. Methods: Eight tertiary hospitals were selected as research sites. A convenience sampling method was used to survey 207 physicians from obstetrics, emergency medicine, and gastroenterology departments, along with 589 pregnant women receiving prenatal care. Descriptive statistics were generated using WPS Office 10.8.0, while SPSS 21.0 was employed for ANOVA, Spearman correlation analysis, and multiple linear regression modeling. Results: The proportion of physicians who had treated listeriosis patients and those who had participated in relevant training was identical at 14.98%. Failure to diagnose the disease was identified as the primary reason for underreporting among clinicians. A low percentage of physicians were aware of foods commonly contaminated by Conclusion: Clinical vigilance for listeriosis diagnosis and treatment among physicians in tertiary hospitals remains limited. Pregnant women exhibit low awareness of listeriosis and engage in high-risk behaviors at elevated rates.
