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
backgroundEating disorders (ED) in the perinatal period pose significant health risks to both mother and infant. Maternity staff have reported a lack of training to support the identification, screening, and management of ED. The study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and ongoing sustainability of a co-designed, online education module to increase clinician and peer worker knowledge of EDs in the peripartum.
methodsOnline surveys were conducted before and after completing the education modules, and at three-month follow-up, to determine changes in knowledge and confidence over time. The three-month survey also investigated the implementation of learning in practice.
resultsImprovements in knowledge of screening, identification, monitoring, and management were significantly greater at three months than at baseline. However, scores had decreased compared to immediately post-education. Time burden was considered a major barrier to education and implementation.
conclusionsThe online education module showed promise as a tool to improve long-term knowledge and confidence regarding perinatal ED for clinicians and peer workers. Revisiting the education module may be beneficial for sustaining knowledge and confidence to identify and manage peripartum ED. Further support, in terms of additional learning items or the creation of a searchable resource, may enhance translation to practice.
