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
Pediatric pain remains one of the inadequately managed conditions in clinical practice, especially in low-resource settings, due in part to limited training across health professions. Addressing this gap requires a coordinated, multidisciplinary approach to improve pain assessment and management in children. This study aimed to implement and evaluate a multidisciplinary pediatric pain education program to enhance healthcare professionals' (HCPs) knowledge, attitudes, and self-efficacy. A one-group pretest-posttest quasi-experimental design was conducted among HCPs from diverse professional backgrounds at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) Hospital. A 45-60-min educational session on pediatric pain assessment and management was delivered to participants. Knowledge and attitudes were assessed using the Pediatric Healthcare Providers' Knowledge and Attitudes Survey Regarding Pain (PHPKASRP), and self-efficacy was assessed using a validated six-item tool. Program acceptability was evaluated using a structured training evaluation form. Quantitative data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Open-ended responses were analyzed using content analysis guided by Kirkpatrick's evaluation model. A multidisciplinary group including 10 nurses, 14 pharmacists, and 11 physicians participated in the study. Participants demonstrated statistically significant improvements in knowledge and attitude scores (
