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: Acute coronary syndrome imposes a heavy burden on health systems and can impair physical function and quality of life. Understanding patients' knowledge, attitudes, and practices is essential for timely care seeking and effective secondary prevention. Aim: This study was conducted to investigate patients' knowledge, attitudes, and practices toward acute coronary syndrome. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among patients with acute coronary syndrome at Shanxi Cardiovascular Hospital (Taiyuan, China) from November 2022 to April 2024. Data were collected using a cardiovascular expert-reviewed questionnaire assessing knowledge, attitudes, and practices. Spearman correlation and logistic regression were performed using SPSS 27.0, and structural equation modeling was conducted using AMOS 26.0. A two-sided Results: Among 475 valid questionnaires (67.58% male), mean knowledge, attitude, and practice scores were 4.16 (standard deviation 1.73), 45.05 (standard deviation 5.72), and 24.65 (standard deviation 6.37), respectively. Knowledge, attitudes, and practices were positively correlated (Spearman Conclusion: Patients with acute coronary syndrome had limited knowledge but generally positive attitudes and practices. Improving symptom recognition, emergency response, and adherence-focused education may support timely care seeking and better management.
