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
IntroductionEast Java ranked second among Indonesian provinces for HIV/AIDS cases in June 2022. Barriers to prevention include limited knowledge, negative attitudes, and risky practices. This study assessed knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) toward HIV/AIDS and examined their relationships with sexual activity status and preventive sexual behaviors among health faculty students at a University in East Java, Indonesia.MethodsA cross-sectional study was conducted from May to June 2024 using a validated questionnaire. Descriptive statistics summarized participant characteristics and KAP levels. Path analysis using a partial least square examined relationships among variables, with sexual activity status in the full sample and preventive sexual behaviors in the sexually active sub-sample as outcomes.ResultsA total of 441 students were included. Most participants demonstrated high HIV/AIDS knowledge (75.3%), positive attitudes toward people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) (61%), and safe practices (91.6%). In model 1, knowledge had a significant positive relationship with attitudes (β = 0.165; p = 0.000) and sexual activity status (β = 0.038; p = 0.048), while attitudes showed a significant negative relationship with sexual activity status (β = -0.065; p = 0.019). In model 2, knowledge had a significant positive relationship with attitudes (β = 0.615; p = 0.000). However, both knowledge and attitudes showed a non-significant relationship with preventive sexual behaviors.ConclusionsHealth faculty students exhibited high KAP levels. Knowledge consistently was related to attitudes across models, emphasizing the importance of strengthening information-based curricula to improve HIV/AIDS knowledge, including transmission, prevention, and treatment.
