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
The term environmental physiotherapy is now widely used, and it is emphasised that raising awareness of the environment and health from university education will be important for the transfer of knowledge on this subject into clinical practice in the future. Thus the aim of our study was to determine the awareness of Sustainable Development (SD) and Ecological Footprint (EFP) among students of physiotherapy and rehabilitation department (DPR; 512 - 76.19%). The socio-demographic data and the students' views on the concepts of SD (8 questions) and EFP (7 questions), and the level of SD and EFP awareness (with SD and EFP Awareness Questionnaires) were recorded. Participants felt that they had insufficient knowledge of these concepts (SD (0-10): 1.65 ± 2.13-EFP (0-10): 2.64 ± 2.34). Although more than 50% of the students had heard of both concepts and had higher awareness scores, they were insufficiently able to define the relationship with their professions (SD: 10.7% and EFP: 12.3%). Physiotherapy students' awareness of SD and EFP concepts in relation to their professional roles should be improved. It is also important to ensure that they have access to reliable sources of information via social media and the internet, as well as courses to be included in the curriculum.
