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
BACKGROUND/
objectivesAcute bronchiolitis is one of the leading respiratory infections in infants and represents a substantial burden on healthcare services. Parents' knowledge, attitudes and practices are key to its prevention and home management. The aim of this study was to analyze parents' knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding the prevention and home management of bronchiolitis in infants in Gran Canaria, Spain.
methodsA cross-sectional observational study was conducted. The Bronchiolitis Knowledge, Attitudes and Practices Questionnaire was used, comprising 26 items grouped into four dimensions: risk factors, signs and symptoms, prevention, and care/pharmacological support. Data were collected using an online questionnaire. Descriptive analyses, nonparametric tests, and multiple linear regression were performed. Statistical analysis was conducted using Jamovi (version 2.4.12). Statistical significance was set at
resultsA total of 162 parents were included. The mean normalized total score indicated an overall level of parental knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding acute bronchiolitis. Prevention was the dimension with the lowest scores, whereas signs and symptoms and care/pharmacological support showed comparatively better results. Higher overall scores were associated with educational level and previous experience with bronchiolitis.
conclusionsParents showed insufficient knowledge, attitudes and practices, particularly in relation to prevention. Targeted educational interventions are needed to improve the home management of bronchiolitis and help reduce healthcare burden.
