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
backgroundThis study aimed to identify factors affecting the behavioral intention of Iranian rural women to use medicinal herbs. The research model was developed by integrating "dissatisfaction with modern medicine" into the "theory of planned behavior".
methodsData were collected through questionnaire from a sample of 260 Iranian rural women, which were randomly selected. The validity and reliability of the scale were confirmed using expert opinions and Cronbach's alpha method, respectively.
resultsBased on the results of structural equation modeling, attitude (β = 0.44; p < 0.01), subjective norms (β = 0.27; p < 0.01) and dissatisfaction with modern medicine (β = 0.11; p < 0.05) had significant positive effects on rural women's intention to use medicinal herbs. In addition, subjective norms indirectly affected rural women's intention to use medicinal herbs through attitude (β = 0.23; p < 0.01).
conclusionsSubjective norms was a key factor in determining the intention of Iranian rural women to use medicinal herbs, followed by attitude and dissatisfaction with modern medicine. Therefore, this study could contribute to our understanding on how the intention of Iranian rural women to use medicinal herbs was influenced by different factors.
