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
backgroundDespite improving health levels, not only in developing countries but also in developed countries, pediculosis is still a threat to public health and a health problem. The aim of this study was to investigate the factors related to preventive behaviors of head lice infection in adolescent girls using a health belief model (HBM). MATERIALS AND
methodsThe present study is a descriptive-analytical which was performed on 600 fourth-, fifth-, and sixth-grade female students in Shahroud by multi-stage sampling method. The data collection tool was a questionnaire in which validity and reliability were confirmed. Data were analyzed using descriptive tests including frequency distribution tables and analytical statistics using Pearson and Kendall correlation coefficient tests and multiple regression.
resultsThere was a significant positive correlation between head lice prevention behaviors in students and perceived awareness, severity, benefits, and self-efficacy. Also, the variables of perceived barriers and benefits from the constructs of HBM and mothers' age and education were identified as the final predictors of behavior.
conclusionBased on the HBM, perceived benefit structures and perceived barriers had the most impact on head lice prevention behavior in students. It is suggested that in designing educational interventions, the structures of perceived benefits and perceived barriers be emphasized as the most important behavioral predictors in the prevention of head lice infection in students. It is also strongly recommended that mothers be educated in this area.
