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: Physical inactivity as one of the most prevalent behaviors is a predictive factor of noncommunicable diseases. Objective: This study aimed to assess the effect of an educational intervention on the levels of physical activity among Iranian adolescent girls. Methods: This quasi-experimental study was conducted in 2022 in District 16 of Tehran, Iran. The study was conducted on 100 female high school students from four schools which were selected using random cluster sampling. The educational intervention included weekly 45-min intervention sessions for 1 month in the form of giving lectures, exchanging questions and answers, distributing educational pamphlets, and playing educational films. The contents of pamphlets and films were about the importance of physical activity and different social, environmental, family, economic, psychological, and personal barriers that may decrease the willing of students for doing physical activity. Results: The mean age of participants in the intervention and control groups was 13.2 ± 0.97 and 13.9 ± 0.81, respectively. There was no significant difference in the mean scores of educational, economic, familial, personal, social, psychological, and environmental constructs in the intervention and control groups at baseline. A significant reduction was found in the intervention group compared to the control group regarding all physical activity barriers including awareness, education, social, environmental, family, economic, psychological, self-efficacy, and individual factors (All Conclusion: The results indicated that implementing an educational intervention based on barriers of physical activity may improve physical activity behaviors.
