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: To develop and test an instrument in Brazilian Portuguese to evaluate KAP regarding GDM. Methods: We developed an instrument with 22 items (10 items for practice, 4 for knowledge and 8 for attitude), which was tested in a population of pregnant women (24 - 28 weeks) with GDM. We performed an Exploratory Factor Analysis to evaluate the items included in the instrument, the covariance among the domains evaluated by the instrument, and the robustness of the instrument. Results: One hundred seventy-five participants were included in this study (mean gestational age: 25.4±7.1 weeks). The majority of them did not present adequate KAP regarding diabetes. The average knowledge score was 0.84±1.02 points; the attitude score was 32.46±2.94; and the practice score was 4.65±1.65. The model with the best robustness to evaluate KAP was composed of 3 items for knowledge, 6 for attitude, and 5 for practice. Conclusion: The levels of KAP regarding diabetes among Brazilian pregnant women are low. The moderate association between knowledge and practice underscores the need for targeted educational interventions within prenatal care. Implementing a specific Brazilian Portuguese instrument to evaluate KAP among this population can bring evidence regarding the dimension of the problem in the country.
