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
Introduction Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection remains a severe global public health challenge. Sufficient HCV knowledge among high-risk populations is essential to achieve the WHO 2030 goal of eliminating viral hepatitis. Comparative evidence on HCV knowledge awareness and its demographic determinants across men who have sex with men (MSM), drug users (DUS), female sex workers (FSW), and invasive procedure patients is scarce in Fujian Province. This study aimed to investigate the status of HCV knowledge awareness and explore its associated factors among the four high-risk populations in Xiamen, China.Methods A hospital- and community-based cross-sectional study was performed among 1621 valid participants. A standardized questionnaire developed by the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention was adopted to collect sociodemographic information and HCV knowledge. Participants scoring ≥ 6 points in the 8 knowledge-related questions were defined as having adequate awareness level. The Chi‑square test and multivariable logistic regression analysis were used to compare intergroup differences and identify factors associated with adequate HCV knowledge.Results The overall HCV knowledge awareness rate was 76.5%, with significant differences across groups: MSM 91.0%, FSW 87.7%, DUS 75.3%, and invasive procedure patients only 51.9% (χ
