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
Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) of asthma patients in Inner Mongolia, focusing on their ability to differentiate between allergic rhinitis accompanied by asthma and common coughs. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted from Jan 2024 to April 2024 at the Affiliated Hospital of Inner Mongolia Medical University, involving asthma patients aged 18 years and above. Demographic information and KAP scores were gathered through the distribution of questionnaires. Results: The study successfully collected 547 valid questionnaires. Among the respondents, 310 (56.67%) were female, and 337 (61.61%) either had a personal smoking history or lived with someone who smoked. Median (Q25, Q75) knowledge, attitude, and practice scores were 17 (15, 18) (possible range: 2-18), 43 (41, 44) (possible range: 11-55), and 33 (31, 35) (possible range: 9-45), respectively. Correlation analysis indicated significant positive correlations between knowledge and practice ( Conclusion: Asthma patients in Inner Mongolia demonstrated moderate knowledge, attitudes, and proactive practices toward distinguishing between allergic rhinitis accompanied by asthma and common coughs. Based on these findings, we recommend strengthening targeted patient education in clinical practice, particularly for individuals with lower knowledge levels, a smoking history, or limited awareness of family health history, to enhance symptom recognition and self-management capacity.
