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
Background and Aims: The Weinstein Noise Sensitivity Scale (NSS) was developed to measure the noise sensitivity of the students. However, until now, NSS tools have not been adapted or assessed for psychometric properties in Bangla. The present study aims to investigate the psychometric properties of the Bangla Version of the Noise Sensitivity Scale Short Form (NSS-SF-BV) in both student and general populations. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted with convenience sampling among the participants. A total of 793 participants completed the NSS-SF-BV, Noise Annoyance Scale (NAS) and Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS-21) questionnaire in this study. The student sample consisted of 491 students aged 18-28 (M = 22.90, 41.8% males), and the general sample consisted of 302 adults aged 19-69 (M = 36.90, 50.3% males) from Rajshahi city, Bangladesh. The factor structure was tested using exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) with two independent samples. 81 participants completed the NSS-SF-BV twice over a 2-week interval to ensure test-retest reliability. Results: The EFA confirmed the one-factor structure of the NSS-SF with five items, explained 52.23% of the total variance in the student sample. The CFA confirmed the unidimensional factor and approved the structural validity of the scale. Internal consistency as measured by Cronbach's alpha and Omega demonstrated satisfactory reliability (student sample: Conclusion: Considering all the results, the NSS-SF-BV is a valid and reliable tool for evaluating people's noise sensitivity in Bangladesh.
