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
This study was conducted to assess the effectiveness of a health education program on mothers' knowledge and practices related to amebiasis. Pre- and post-I and II-tests were used, along with a two-group quasi-experimental design. The study included a convenience sample of 120 mothers, including 60 from the study and 60 from the control group. Out of the entire number of PHCs in Wasit Governorate, seven were used for the study. A three-part structured questionnaire tests mothers' knowledge of the illness and attitudes about it. The results of this study indicated that there is statistically significant difference between the study and control groups during the post-test I and post-test II periods (t=14.968, P=.000 and t=13.731, P=.000, respectively). Data from the study group during the pre-test period of 31.17(9.14) revealed that (70%) of mothers had bad practices connected to Entameba Histolytica among children. According to the post-test I results, 47.4 (9.48) respondents, or 70%, identified good practices. The main finding showed that, after the educational program was implemented, mothers' knowledge and practice of amebiasis dramatically increased, with pre-post implementation differences that are statistically significant.
