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 aim was to evaluate food waste knowledge and attitudes among university students in Tamilnadu state. MATERIALS AND
methodsA cross-sectional study involving 500 college students was conducted, and the interviews were conducted using a semi-structured questionnaire. Using regression, food waste knowledge effect on Food Waste attitudes were investigated.
resultsAccording to the findings nearly 44% of students had higher knowledge while 25.5% had a low knowledge, 48.5% had a positive attitude and 22% had a neutral attitude about food waste management.

conclusionMore precisely, persons who are younger, currently pursuing their undergraduate studies, and come from households with higher incomes generally exhibit a higher level of awareness and willingness toward decreasing food waste. Conversely, persons who are elder, have completed higher education, and are employed with a fixed salary may be less likely to embrace such activities. It is suggested to establish a sustained and methodical education about food waste as part of the educational program and employ social media to get the message forward to increase awareness as a fundamental transformation.
