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.

Abstract
Objective: This study aimed to measure and correlate the level of awareness, attitude, and practice of physical activity among healthcare professional students with various demographical variables. Methods: This cross-sectional study used a structured online questionnaire. A heterogeneous purposive sample, according to the study's objectives, of health professional students belonging to 15 universities in Saudi Arabia from February to May 2024. Results: The overall knowledge, positive attitude, and practice scores of the participants towards the physical activity guidelines were moderate as represented by 68.97%, 47.93 %, and 51.90%, respectively. Unlike knowledge and attitude, practice varies among all demographic features. Participants identified walking as the most common form of exercise, 60.64%, followed by moderate-intensity activity,16.15%, and vigorous-intensity activity, 9.17%, while 14.04% reported no practice. Barriers to practice PA included lack of time, 55%, lack of interest, 30%, and illness/injury, 6%. There was a significant relationship between the mean practice score and both knowledge and attitude scores ( Conclusion: The study indicated a relatively moderate awareness and practice of physical activity that varied according to the demographic features due to regional differences in educational systems, cultures, and socioeconomic classes. The study highlighted the possibility of focused interventions to close the knowledge-behavior gap and encourage active lives in this community.
