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
objectiveTo investigate the knowledge, attitude, and practice of bathing care among patients with a stoma and to examine the correlations between bathing care and patients' quality of life.
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted, involving 663 patients with a stoma from 22 tertiary hospitals across 7 provinces in East China. A self-designed Knowledge-Attitude-Practice of Bathing Questionnaire and City of Hope-Quality of Life-Ostomy Questionnaire were used. Data were analyzed following descriptive statistics, t test, analysis of variance, and ordinal logistic regression.
resultsPatients with a stoma demonstrate a moderate level of knowledge, attitude, and practice of bathing care. Educational level, marital status, primary caregiver, time after surgery, stoma-related complications, and primary bathing method were identified as independent influencing factors for bathing care in patients with stoma ( P <.05). A positive correlation was found between bathing care and quality of life ( r =0.434; P <.01).
conclusionsBathing practices of patients with a stoma were affected by the presence of a stoma, and the level of bathing care was closely linked to the quality of life. In clinical practice, nurses should pay greater attention to bathing issues for patients during education and follow-up. Future studies should focus on developing interventions to improve the bathing-care abilities and quality of life among these patients.
