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
Background: This study aimed to assess the knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) of older adults patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) regarding disease management. Methods: This multicenter cross-sectional study enrolled older adults patients with RA between November and December 2024 in Sichuan Province, China. Self-administered questionnaires were utilized to collect demographic information and evaluate KAP scores. Results: A total of 488 participants were included in the study, with 72.54% aged 60-69 years and 70.29% female. The mean KAP scores were 10.72 ± 4.68 (possible range: 0-20), 20.11 ± 2.31 (possible range: 6-30), and 25.05 ± 6.10 (possible range: 7-35), respectively. Spearman correlation analysis revealed that knowledge positively correlated with both attitude ( Conclusion: This study found that older adults patients with RA generally exhibited insufficient knowledge and predominantly negative attitudes toward disease management, although many reported relatively proactive behaviors in managing their condition. Targeted educational interventions are necessary to improve knowledge and attitudes, which may further enhance disease management practices among older adults RA patients.
