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: The objective of this study was to investigate the current status of clinicians' knowledge, attitudes and practices (KAP) regarding the diagnosis and management of pediatric group A Methods: For this cross-sectional study, an online questionnaire (12 KAP items, 6 descriptive items) developed using the Delphi method was administered to 190 practicing clinicians in Shenzhen from February 23 to February 25, 2025. The data were analyzed using t tests and analysis of variance, with comparisons performed according to demographic characteristics and, after KAP dichotomization (≥ 75% threshold), hospital type. Pearson correlations between KAP scores were assessed, and significant univariate predictors of KAP were examined using multiple linear regression analysis. Results: Knowledge scores correlated with attitude and practice scores ( Conclusion: The present study showed that clinicians in Shenzhen have a relatively advanced level of expertise and positive attitudes regarding the diagnosis and management of GAS pharyngitis in children. However, the extent of their knowledge was influenced by their degree of systematic exposure to diagnostic and treatment guidelines, and their practice expertise was constrained by their experience, potentially exacerbating antibiotic resistance. Standardized guideline application should be strengthened and clinicians' practical skills should be improved to enhance guideline adherence and promote high-quality care delivery.
