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.

Understanding the complex relationship between mental health knowledge, stigma, and service utilization is critical. This study examines how general and specific mental health knowledge are associated with willingness to engage in help-seeking behaviors and the moderating role of stigma. A cross-sectional survey of Black adults across the United States (N = 1117) assessed mental health knowledge, health service utilization, and the effects of mental illness stigma using tailored instruments. Gender differences emerged, with black females showing significantly higher specific mental health knowledge of depression, bipolar disorder, and drug addiction, while Black males had greater knowledge about stress (p
