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
backgroundThere is an urgent need to address the poor quality of mental healthcare and human rights violations within mental health systems and communities. To achieve this, efforts must focus on changing the attitudes that perpetuate stigma and discrimination against individuals with mental health conditions, as well as psychosocial, intellectual and cognitive disabilities. The World Health Organization (WHO) QualityRights e-training on mental health, recovery and community inclusion is tackling these issues in several countries; however, its global impact has yet to be evaluated.
aimsThis study aims to assess the changes in attitudes following the completion of the WHO QualityRights e-training in countries worldwide.
methodData from 3026 participants were analysed in this pre-post intervention study. Changes in scores on the WHO QualityRights Attitudes questionnaire were evaluated with the paired
resultsThe mean differences from baseline to post-training on the WHO QualityRights Attitudes questionnaire were 9.91 (95% CI 9.58-10.24,
conclusionsThis study suggests that the WHO QualityRights e-training has a positive, large effect in reducing negative attitudes toward individuals with mental health conditions and psychosocial, intellectual and cognitive disabilities, and can contribute to reduced stigma and greater alignment with rights-based approaches. These findings support the scale-up of the WHO QualityRights e-training programme.
