Article in Journal of family medicine and primary care, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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: Child abuse and neglect (CAN) remains a pressing issue worldwide, with teachers often being the first to notice signs of abuse in children. This study aims to compare the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) regarding CAN among primary school teachers in urban and rural areas of Telangana, India. Aim: The primary aim of this study is to assess and compare the KAP among teachers from both rural and urban schools about CAN. Methodology: A cross-sectional study involving 400 primary school teachers (200 urban, 200 rural) were selected through stratified random sampling. An 18-question survey assessed demographics and KAP related to CAN. Data were analyzed using SPSS 25.0, with Chi-square tests. Results: The awareness, attitudes, and practices of primary school teachers regarding CAN reveal stark differences between urban and rural settings. Urban teachers demonstrated statistically significant higher levels of knowledge and attitude in handling CAN issues compared to their rural counterparts. Conclusion: The study calls for quality-focused standardized training to enhance teachers' confidence and knowledge about CAN, regardless of geographic location. Collaborative efforts to integrate the best practices into teacher education are essential to improve the handling of child abuse cases and ensure the protection of vulnerable children. Clinical Significance: This study underscores the critical need for improved and standardized training for teachers to effectively handle CAN and highlights the importance of establishing robust support systems to encourage reporting and ensure the protection of children.
