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
This paper seeks to probe the current status of the knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) of outpatient medical staff regarding the prevention and control of infectious diseases at a maternity and childcare hospital. A survey was done among 168 outpatient medical staff members selected through convenience sampling, with a specifically designed questionnaire adopted to assess their KAP on infectious disease prevention and control. For data analysis, SPSS 23.0 statistical software was harnessed. Based on different types of data, t tests or χ2 tests were taken for group comparisons. Logistic regression analysis was implemented to identify relevant influencing factors. Among the 168 medical personnel who participated in the survey, 166 valid questionnaires were obtained, yielding an effective rate of 98.81%. The total score for the infectious disease prevention and control KAP questionnaire among the 166 respondents was (69.75 ± 7.88) points, with scores for the knowledge, attitude, and practice dimensions being (20.05 ± 3.22), (24.19 ± 3.55), and (25.51 ± 3.56) points, respectively. Multifactor logistic regression analysis unraveled that having fewer than 10 years of work experience (odds ratio [OR] = 4.289, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.267-14.514), education below a bachelor's degree (OR = 5.859, 95% CI = 1.420-24.169), administrative/technical positions (OR = 5.244, 95% CI = 1.656-16.601), junior and intermediate professional titles (OR = 4.802, 95% CI = 1.333-17.302), and fewer than 3 training sessions (OR = 6.534, 95% CI = 1.375-31.038) were independent risk factors affecting the knowledge of infectious disease prevention and control among outpatient medical staff (P < .05). As for independent risk factors influencing practices, they included education below a bachelor's degree (OR = 4.289, 95% CI = 1.255-14.657), administrative/technical positions (OR = 4.764, 95% CI = 1.319-17.198), junior professional titles (OR = 5.063, 95% CI = 1.202-21.341), fewer than 3 training sessions (OR = 4.894, 95% CI = 1.382-17.326), lack of clinical teaching (OR = 5.590, 95% CI = 1.094-28.552), as well as a moderate level of importance placed on infection control (OR = 5.063, 95% CI = 1.596-16.062; P < .05). Overall, outpatient medical staff at the maternity and childcare hospital exhibited notable gaps in their KAP regarding infectious disease prevention and control. Factors such as shorter work experience, lower educational qualifications, nonclinical roles, junior and intermediate professional titles, and fewer training sessions on infectious diseases contributed to these deficiencies.
