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: Gastric cancer is a leading cause of global cancer mortality, especially in China, with high incidence and death rates. Nutritional status is crucial for prognosis, yet adherence to dietary guidelines remains low. Family caregivers, pivotal in patient care, often lack adequate nutritional knowledge and practices, highlighting the need for targeted interventions to improve outcomes. This study aimed to investigate the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) of family members regarding nutritional care for gastric cancer patients. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted between January and May 2024 at the Department of Medical Oncology, Inner Mongolia Hospital, Peking University Cancer Hospital. Demographic information and KAP scores were collected using structured questionnaires. Results: Among 406 valid questionnaires, 216 (53.2%) respondents were female. Median (25, 75%) knowledge, attitude, and practice scores were 27.00 (19.00, 33.00), 31.00 (30.00, 36.00), and 36.00 (34.00, 42.00), respectively. Structural equation modeling revealed that factors like income, nursing support, and training significantly influenced knowledge, attitude, and practice (all Conclusion: Family members understand gastric cancer nutritional care and maintain positive attitudes, but their practices are inadequate. Educational interventions are needed to improve caregiver knowledge and implementation.
