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 COVID-19 pandemic has profoundly impacted health behaviors globally and this study investigated changes in Health, Attitudes, Practices, and Sources of information (HAPS) among 1186 students, faculty, and staff at Qatar University following the lifting of pandemic restrictions. We aimed to identify demographic influences on HAPS and assess behavioral shifts from peak pandemic practices. Methods: A cross-sectional survey adapted from the KAPS model, comprising 20 true/false questions, was administered to 1186 participants. The survey assessed demographics, health habits, public practices, attitudes towards COVID-19, and information sources. Data was analyzed using IBM SPSS 28 and Excel. Results: Results revealed significant shifts: mask-wearing decreased by 78% (from 90.5% to 10.7%, Conclusions: This study reveals significant shifts in health behaviors and information sources among Qatar University's population post-pandemic. These findings underscore the need for targeted interventions, particularly among younger and Qatari populations, to promote sustained healthy habits. Such interventions should leverage social media and address demographic disparities to improve pandemic preparedness. Understanding these changes is crucial for developing tailored public health strategies and improving pandemic preparedness.
