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
Objective: This study aimed to investigate nurses' knowledge, attitude, and practice regarding bowel preparation for colonoscopy. Methods: This multicenter cross-sectional study was conducted among registered nurses from eight hospitals in Jiangsu Province, China, between December 2025 and March 2026. Data were collected using a self-administered online questionnaire covering demographic characteristics and KAP scores. Multivariable linear regression was used to identify factors associated with KAP scores, and structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to explore the relationships among knowledge, attitudes, and practices. Results: A total of 382 valid questionnaires were included. The median knowledge, attitude, and practice scores were 10.00 (9.00, 14.00), 37.00 (36.00, 43.00), and 28.00 (23.00, 32.00), respectively. Lack of bowel preparation-related training was independently associated with lower knowledge (β = -4.097, 95% CI: -5.006 to -3.188), attitude (β = -1.052, 95% CI: -2.000 to -0.104), and practice scores (β = -2.297, 95% CI: -3.335 to -1.260). SEM showed significant direct associations of knowledge with attitude (β = 0.491, 95% CI: 0.407-0.584, Conclusion: Nurses demonstrated insufficient knowledge, positive attitudes, and moderate practice regarding bowel preparation for colonoscopy. These findings identify potential targets for future nurse-oriented educational and organizational interventions, particularly knowledge gaps and bowel preparation-related practices.
