Awareness on passive smoking among Indian adults.
Article in Bioinformation, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Around one-third of adults worldwide regularly come into contact with passive smoking. In addition to many other health issues, non-smokers who are exposed to passive smoking at home or at work have a 20-30% higher risk of acquiring lung cancer. The current study set out to determine adult smokers' awareness of the hazards of passive smoking as well as the efficacy of an education campaign in raising that awareness. To finish the investigation, a pre-experimental research approach was employed. 60 adults between the ages of 18 and 45 were chosen by non-probability purposive sampling. Results revealed that the mean of pre-test score was 12.33 and mean of post-test score was 21.5. The mean difference was 9.17. The standard deviation of pre-test knowledge score was 2.87 and standard deviation post-test knowledge score was 3.27. The calculated 't' value is 14.80, the DF value was 59 and p value was 1.671. This shows that the teaching program was effective in increasing the awareness of adults regarding effects of passive smoking. Age and education status of the sample were found to have significant association with the level of awareness in pre-test. Teaching programs can be effectively utilized to create awareness among adults regarding adverse effects of passive smoking.
