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: Deep vein thrombosis affects millions of people worldwide each year and requires timely interventions because it causes life-threatening, preventable complications. Nurses play a pivotal role in the prevention of this health problem. Objectives: This study aimed to assess nurses' knowledge, attitudes, practices, and associated factors regarding deep vein thrombosis prevention at comprehensive specialized hospitals in northeastern Ethiopia, 2022. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted from June 1 to August 30, 2022, employing a structured, self-administered questionnaire among 404 nurses. Study participants were selected through a simple random sampling technique. The data were entered into EpiData version 3.1 and exported to SPSS 25 for analysis. A binary logistic regression model was utilized to determine outcome variables and associated factors, and multivariable logistic regression was applied to control for potential confounders. Results: A total of 404 nurses participated in the study, giving a response rate of 97.8%. In this study, 56.7% (95% CI [51.8%, 61.5%]), 59.0% (95% CI [54.0%, 63.7%]), and 59.4% (95% CI [54.6%, 64.2%]) of nurses had adequate knowledge, favorable attitudes, and satisfactory practices, respectively. Age ≥ 36 years (AOR = 2.73, 95% CI [1.18, 6.31], Conclusion: Slightly more than half of the nurses demonstrated adequate knowledge, favorable attitudes, and satisfactory practices. Deep vein thrombosis education, training, availability of guidelines, and educational status were significantly associated with nurses' knowledge of deep vein thrombosis prevention. Work experience, workload and educational status were associated with attitudes, while monitoring, deep vein thrombosis education and adequate knowledge had a significant association with practices.
