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
BackgroundThis study aimed to examine how health literacy, knowledge of HIV/AIDS, and public stigma are associated with social distance toward people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWH), as a behavioral manifestation of stigma, among the general Japanese population.MethodsWe conducted an online cross-sectional survey targeting adults (age range: 20-60 s) from among the 2.2 million registrants in Rakuten Insight from September 20 to 25, 2019. Stratified randomized sampling was performed according to the region, sex, and age. The study participants were 2268 eligible for analysis (effective response rate: 90.7%).ResultsModels were examined using hierarchical multiple regression analysis. The results indicated that low-level knowledge of HIV/AIDS affected social distance to PLWH (B = 3.77, (95% CI, 1.30 to 6.24)). 'Access,' 'understand,' 'appraise' and 'use' of European health literacy survey questionnaire affected social distance to PLWH (B = .03, (-.07 to .13); - B = .15, (-.27 to -.04); B = .06, (-.04 to .17); B = -.07, (-.19 to .05)). Public stigma of HIV/AIDS affected social distance to PLWH (B = .97, (.92 to 1.01)).ConclusionsThese findings indicate that health literacy not only maintains and promotes individual health but also has the potential to reduce social distance toward PLWH.
