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
Breast cancer is regarded as a healthcare issue for women worldwide and affects women of all races, ethnicities, and social classes. The study aimed to examine the effects of the health belief model (HBM)-based educational program on knowledge, practices, and how to prevent breast cancer in women who go to health centers in Iran, which is in the province of Alborz in Iran. A quasi-experimental study was carried out based on a pretest-posttest design with the control group in 2022. A study targeted 128 women in 2 interventions (n = 64) and control (n = 64) groups. The data were collected from participants using a researcher-made questionnaire developed based on key constructs of the HBM, before and 2 months after the educational intervention. Educational intervention was held for 6 sessions of 60 min duration each. The health belief model evaluates 7 components of individuals, including perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, perceived barriers, perceived benefits, self-efficacy, cues to action, and practice. The Mann-Whitney test was utilized to compare the levels of quantitative variables between the 2 groups. A chi-squared test was utilized for the categorical variables. A robust analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was employed to evaluate the effect of the intervention on all 7 HBM components. The results showed that using the health belief model can increase awareness, perceived benefits, perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, and self-efficacy of women for the prevention of breast cancer.
