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 and Aims: Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection remains a global health concern, with nurses being particularly vulnerable to occupational exposure. In Bangladesh, however, there is limited understanding of the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) of nurses concerning HBV, highlighting a significant gap in research and awareness. Therefore, the study aimed to assess the KAP of nurses regarding HBV. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted among 120 nurses through face-to-face interviews using a semi-structured questionnaire, employing a convenience sample technique. Different statistical tools, including frequency distribution, Box and Whisker plot, the non-parametric Mann-Whitney U test and Kruskal-Wallis test were used in data analysis. Results: The average age of the participants was 34.5 years, and most of the participants were female (83%). Nurses' vaccination uptake was 70.8% This study revealed that nurses' knowledge scores have a median of 0.77 (Interquartile range (IQR): 0.13). The Attitude scores, with a median of 0.88 (IQR: 0.25), and the practice scores was 0.87 (IQR: 0.38) regarding HBV. The nonparametric test demonstrated significant ( Conclusions: Nurses' KAP were found to be unsatisfactory. Knowledge was differed significantly across age groups. Furthermore, significant sex-based differences were observed in attitudes and practices, with female nurses demonstrating more favorable attitudes and better practices than male counterparts.
