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
backgroundCommon mental disorders are a considerable global public health concern and pose a high burden of disease especially in terms of years lived with disability (YLD).
objectiveTo establish the prevalence of common mental disorders among workers involved in fighting endemic diseases in the state of Ceará, Brazil.
methodsIn the present cross-sectional study we administered the Self-Reporting Questionnaire 20, a screening tool for common mental disorders previously validated for use in Brazil. To calculate the sample size we considered the total number of workers involved in fighting endemic diseases in Fortaleza and four metropolitan municipalities.
resultsAbout 33.3% of the participants met the criteria for common mental disorders. The questionnaire section on depressive and anxiety symptoms exhibited the highest frequency of affirmative answers. The prevalence ratio was highest for the participants in Caucaia (PR=2.13).
conclusionThe results indicate a previously unknown and considerable morbidity profile. The present was the first study that investigated common mental disorders in this occupational group.
