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.

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.

Methods: A pretest-posttest of 116 (57%) SASSM participants was conducted, comprising data on knowledge acquisition following the 3-day program in 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2021. A paired Outcomes: The study demonstrates that the SASSM School Bangladesh program significantly improves participants' knowledge of sexual medicine, with a 12.7-unit increase in test scores, irrespective of socio-demographic factors.

Psychiatrists were the most common respondents (39%), followed by dermatologists (32%), urologists (12%), and gynecologists (8%) who completed both surveys. There was a significant difference ( Clinical Implications: The study highlights the clinical importance of structured training in sexual medicine, ensuring that healthcare professionals across various specialties are better equipped to diagnose and manage sexual health issues effectively.
