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: Parents are the key decision makers in the eye care of their children. This study aimed to assess the knowledge, attitude, and practices (KAPs) towards childhood eye diseases among parents in a rural community in southeastern Nigeria and to determine the factors affecting the KAP. Materials and Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional population-based survey was conducted among parents in Obuoffia Community, Nkanu West local government area of Enugu state, Nigeria. Data were collected using a pretested interviewer-administered questionnaire. Data were analysed with IBM Statistical Package for the Social Sciences. Descriptive, chi-square, and logistic regression statistics were done, and a Results: There were 597 participants. The proportion of participants with good knowledge was 76.2%, those with positive attitudes was 75.2%, and those with good practice was 22.4%. Good knowledge was significantly associated with being married, on salaried employment, having at least secondary education, and having a positive attitude. Positive attitude was associated with being employed and good knowledge ( Conclusions: There was overall good knowledge and positive attitude towards childhood eye diseases among parents in Obuoffia, but these did not translate to good practice. Intervention eye care programmes integrated with primary healthcare and targeted at parents less than 45 years of age are recommended.
