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: This study aimed to develop and psychometrically validate a patient-centered Knowledge-Attitude-Practice (KAP) questionnaire for cancer pain management in Chinese geriatric cancer patients. Existing pain assessment tools were largely developed for younger or mixed-age populations and seldom capture culture-specific psychosocial factors or the patient's own perspective. Methods: The Knowledge-Attitude-Practice Questionnaire for Geriatric Cancer Pain Management (KAP-CPGQ) was developed across five sequential phases: item generation (literature review and semi-structured key-informant interviews with 6 clinical experts), content validity (a two-round modified Delphi consultation with an independent panel of 12 experts), face validity (cognitive interviewing with 10 geriatric cancer patients), construct validity, and reliability analysis. Construct validity was examined in 440 geriatric cancer patients, randomly partitioned into two independent subsamples ( Results: The final instrument retained 28 items across three domains: knowledge (10 items), attitudes (9 items), and practices (9 items), each rated on a 5-point Likert scale. Content validity was supported by an overall content validity ratio (CVR) of 0.90 and a scale-level content validity index (S-CVI/Ave) of 0.91, and all 28 items exceeded the Item Impact Score threshold of 1.5 (range 3.5-4.2). EFA identified a three-factor structure (KMO = 0.94; Bartlett's test Conclusion: The KAP-CPGQ is a reliable, valid, and culturally adapted instrument measuring knowledge, attitudes, and practices in geriatric cancer pain management. It offers clinicians and researchers a tool to identify patient-level barriers to pain control and to guide targeted educational and behavioral interventions for geriatric cancer patients.
