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
objectiveThe aim of this study was to evaluate the knowledge, attitudes, and vaccination practices of family physicians in Muğla, Turkey, regarding rotavirus infection and vaccination.
methodsThis descriptive cross-sectional study included family medicine residents and family physicians working in primary care settings in Muğla. Data were analyzed using Kruskal-Wallis, Mann-Whitney U, and Pearson chi-square tests. A p<0.05 was considered statistically significant.
resultsAmong the participants, 88.6% recommended at least one vaccine not included in the national immunization schedule, with rotavirus vaccine being the most frequently recommended (91.9%). Rotavirus vaccine knowledge scores were significantly associated with age and the recommendation of vaccines not included in the national immunization schedule (p<0.001). Physicians who had vaccinated their own children had significantly higher knowledge scores (p=0.011).
conclusionAlthough family physicians demonstrated adequate general knowledge of rotavirus infection, vaccine-related knowledge was insufficient. Knowledge level appears to play a key role in shaping vaccination attitudes and behaviors, highlighting the need for targeted continuing medical education.
