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
Cancer of the cervix can be prevented by primary and secondary prevention methods. In order for these prevention methods to be practiced it is imperative that women are made aware of cervical cancer and the existing vaccination and cervical screening services available to them. A small intervention study to inquire on the effect of showing a short video about cervical cancer and its prevention proved to be an effective means of increasing awareness and knowledge among Zambian women residing in Lusaka. This brief report follows up on the 2017 intervention study in order to determine to what extent the increased knowledge has led to increased screening and vaccination practices among Zambian women and their daughters after a 3-year period. It is concluded that awareness of prevention services increases women's likeliness to seek screening services when given enough time. Unfortunately, we found no evidence of in an increase of the number of daughters vaccinated in this study.
