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: Tuberculosis (TB) is recognized as a serious public health concern in many developing countries. As the new main force and inheritors of national health construction, college students bear important social responsibilities and missions of practicing TB prevention and control, volunteer mobilization, and health concept dissemination. Improving college students' health literacy is crucial to preventing and treating infectious diseases. This study aims to assess college students' knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) about TB prevention and treatment in Wuhan, China. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study survey among college students was conducted from May to June 2022 at 22 colleges using the judgment sampling method in Wuhan. KAP regarding TB was recorded and assessed using an online questionnaire platform. The status quo of KAP regarding TB prevention and treatment was statistically described, and the formation of students' TB prevention and treatment behavior was analyzed using single-factor and multifactor logistic regression. Results: A total of 15,290 college students completed the questionnaire, and 15,272 valid questionnaires were collected. The total awareness rate of knowledge, attitudes, and practices of TB prevention and treatment was 79.69%. Among them, the awareness rate of key knowledge was 79.28%, and the passing rate was 92.46%. The holding rate of correct attitudes was 89.69%, and the passing rate was 90.56%. The formation rate of correct behaviors was 72.11%, and the passing rate was 96.62%. A single-factor analysis showed that gender, grade, parents' education level, contact history of TB patients, and passing rate of key knowledge were statistically different in the formation of prevention and treatment behaviors. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that for females (odds ratio [OR] = 1.86, 95% CI [1.50, 2.30], Conclusion: School health promotion should not only focus on improving students' personal knowledge and skills of TB prevention and treatment but also emphasize the level of family participation, strengthen the comprehensive mobilization action of schools, formulate policies to support health action, create a supportive social environment, and radiate the health education effect of students to the whole society.
