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
aimThis study evaluates the knowledge, attitude and practise (KAP) of nursing staff in Jiaxing City, Southeast China, regarding the subcutaneous administration of anticoagulants, a critical aspect of managing venous thromboembolism (VTE).
designA cross-sectional study. REVIEW
methodsThe study was conducted at a tertiary hospital in Jiaxing, using a self-administered questionnaire to collect demographic data and assess KAP related to subcutaneous anticoagulant administration amongst nursing staff.
resultsThe study included 545 nursing staff with a mean age of 32.11 years. The mean (SD) scores for knowledge, attitude and practise were 56.23 (6.21), 47.35 (4.35) and 67.03 (6.15), respectively, with possible score ranges of 0-72, 10-50 and 14-70. In the knowledge section, the highest accuracy was observed for the item 'Complications that may occur during subcutaneous anticoagulant injection include: Subcutaneous bleeding', with an accuracy rate of 99%. However, only 16.88% of participants correctly identified the item 'Absolute contraindications for subcutaneous anticoagulant injection include: Impaired liver or kidney function' as incorrect. Spearman correlation and path analyses indicated positive associations amongst KAP dimensions based on self-reported data. Nursing staff generally demonstrated relatively adequate knowledge, positive attitudes and self-reported proactive practises regarding subcutaneous anticoagulant administration, although certain knowledge deficiencies were observed and may benefit from targeted educational interventions. IMPLICATIONS FOR THE PROFESSION: The findings highlight the need for ongoing education and training programmes to enhance the knowledge of nursing staff, particularly related to contraindications in anticoagulant therapy. These self-reported results suggest that strengthening standardised nursing education may contribute to improved patient safety and care quality in clinical practise, although outcomes were not directly measured.
