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
Context: Breast self-examination (BSE) is one of the early detection methods for breast cancer. Health education can increase awareness and practice of BSE. Development of skills of BSE can help women find breast abnormality efficiently and aid in early diagnosis of breast cancer. Aim: To assess effectiveness of skill-based training on skill development of BSE among women of reproductive age group. Settings and Design: A pretest and posttest design quasiexperimental study was carried out in rural field practice area under Department of Community Medicine, Maulana Azad Medical College. Methods and Material: A total of 108 women were included. Baseline assessment of skills was done and skill-based training provided using videos and training on dummy breast model, followed by assessment of skills in three aspects, namely, identification of images, following steps of BSE and finding lumps in dummy breast model using observation checklist. Statistical Analysis Used: The Friedman test used to compare mean scores among pretest, posttest and after 2 months. Results: Total mean score for skills of BSE out of 17 before training 3.83 ± 1.8 which increased to 11.48 ± 1.5 after 2 months ( Conclusions: The overall skills of BSE were found to be inadequate which significantly improved after skill-based training using videos and demonstration.
