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
Health care providers (HCPs)' stigma perception can determine their behaviors and attitudes toward providing mental health services. This study aimed to assess stigma components of knowledge, attitude, and behavior among HCPs in Jordan. A cross sectional descriptive study using a convenience sample of 541 HCPs utilized. The Mental Health Knowledge Schedule (MAKS), the Mental Illness: Clinicians' Attitudes Scale (MICA) and the Reported and Intended Behavior Scale (RIBS) were used to evaluate HCPs' perceived stigma. Mean scores on RIBS were lowest and at mid-point for MAKS and MICA. Results revealed significantly that HCPs perceived stigma demonstrated in greater negative attitudes correlated with less knowledge (r = .18, .17; p = .01, .009) for both physicians and nurses. And between attitudes and reported intended behavior (r = .13, p = .025) among nurses. This make them less likely to deal with mental health problems in primary healthcare centers. The reported stigma in this context is possibly due to lack of training, inadequate experience, and cultural dynamics. Indeed, awareness programs are important to prepare those HCPs to provide mental health care in these settings shall they are asked to.
