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
Introduction: Teachers play a crucial role in influencing the attitudes and behaviors of their students. Their knowledge, attitude, and practice towards tobacco use, have a direct impact on strict implementation of School Tobacco Control Policies. The present study aimed to assess the effectiveness of the teacher's training program, Materials and Methods: The study was a Quasi experimental study conducted among 120 school teachers from six Government High Schools in Lucknow. An interactive training session on various tobacco-related topics was conducted. Knowledge gained was assessed by comparing post-test scores with pre-test scores. McNemar's test was employed to assess change in knowledge before, after, and after 1 month of the training program. Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used to compare the mean of pre-, post-, and follow-up test scores. Results: The prevalence of tobacco use was 21.7% among the participating school teachers. The female teachers did not consume tobacco in any form. There was a significant improvement in the mean post-test score as compared to the pre-test score ( Conclusion: The present study showed that the CHAT interactive educational intervention program was effective in improving knowledge related to tobacco and its laws to protect minors from the tobacco epidemic. The intervention also resulted in a high level of motivation among teachers to choose a tobacco-free life.
