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 aimed to examine the relationship between high school students' religious beliefs and their self-efficacy to protect themselves from substance abuse. The necessary sample size for this cross-sectional study was determined by power analysis to be 247. Data were collected using the Descriptive Characteristics Form, the Self-Efficacy for Protecting Adolescents from Substance Abuse Scale (SEAPSAS), and the Religious Belief Scale for Adolescents (RBS-A). The data was analyzed by several statistical methods, including the independent sample t-test, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), and Pearson correlation analysis. Participants' scores on the RBS-A were positively and moderately associated with their scores on the Avoidance dimension of the SEAPSAS (r = 0.30; p < 0.01) and positive and weak relationships with their scores on the Avoidance Under Pressure (r = 0.27; p < 0.01) and Seeking Help (r = 0.22; p < 0.01) dimensions of the SEAPSAS. A positive, weak, and significant relationship was identified between total scores on the SEAPSAS and the RBS-A among the study's participants (r = 0.29; p < 0.01). This Study indicated that as high school students' levels of religious belief increased, so did their self-efficacy in protecting themselves from substance abuse.
