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: Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) is an important emergency care skill for all healthcare professionals. The success of CPR is determined by multiple patient and healthcare professional factors, such as CPR training and adhering to the guidelines for managing sudden cardiac arrest. Nurses have a high chance of identifying a patient in sudden cardiac arrest and initiating CPR for a better health outcome. This study assessed the knowledge and practice of adult CPR among nurses at the Emergency Department (ED) of a tertiary Hospital in Ghana. Methods: A quantitative cross-sectional study was employed, where 132 nurses were randomly selected and interviewed from June 2020 to November 2020. Data was collected by trained research assistants with a structured questionnaire and analysed with STATA Version 16.0. Results: Majority ( Conclusion: Our study found respondents generally had good knowledge and good practice of CPR. Making AHA guidelines available to ED nurses for managing sudden cardiac arrest was significantly associated with good knowledge of CPR. Therefore, regular CPR training and providing AHA guidelines for managing sudden cardiac arrest are recommended to increase the level of knowledge of adult CPR.
