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 adverse health outcomes due to unsafe Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WaSH) are a public health concern in low-and middle-income countries. However, evidence on how WaSH is associated with psychological outcomes is minimal. Insights on this association would help address the well-being of the slum population. Therefore, this study aimed to understand the association between knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) of WaSH, water insecurity experiences, and sanitation-related quality of life on the well-being of individuals living in slums. Methods: We used the KAP of WaSH, water insecurity experience scale, sanitation-related quality of life scale, and WHO well-being index to collect data from adult slum dwellers aged 18 years and above from Vellore, Tamil Nadu, India. We adopted a cross-sectional study design and employed a systematic sampling procedure to select the households. The data was collected through a face-to-face household survey ( Results: The results indicated that a positive attitude toward WaSH and higher water insecurity experiences significantly reduced the well-being of the slum dwellers. However, good WaSH practices ( Conclusion: The results suggest that promoting adherence to proper WaSH practices, enhancing water security, and providing availability and access to toilet facilities for individuals living in slums are important to improving their well-being.
