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
objectiveThis study analyzed the prevalence and associated factors of benzodiazepine use among teachers in municipalities of Espírito Santo, Brazil, in 2024.
methodsA cross-sectional, quantitative study conducted with teachers from the state of Espírito Santo using self-administered questionnaires.
resultsAmong the 453 teachers surveyed, the prevalence of benzodiazepine use was 6.8% (n=31), increasing to 21.1% (n=26) among teachers with a previous diagnosis of mental disorders (n=123). Most benzodiazepines were used daily (57.6%; n=19), 42.5% (n=14) had been used for 2-5 years, and 39.4% (n=13) reported use without antidepressant treatment.
conclusionsSevere anxiety symptoms and clinical insomnia were associated with an increased likelihood of benzodiazepine use, whereas having a partner was associated with reduced use. The prevalence of benzodiazepine use among teachers was higher than in the general population.
