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: Amid a pan-India digitally driven mental health capacity-building program carried out through National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences (NIMHANS) from April 2022 to November 2024, one district stood out, consistently outperforming others across most outcome measures. This study delves into the successful elements of this high-performing model district in South India to uncover the key factors behind its success. Methods: In November-December 2023, 69 primary care doctors (PCDs) from Udupi district participated in a six-week digital mental health training. The study utilized a mixed-method approach, analyzing changes in knowledge, attitudes, and practice (KAP) scores pre- and post-training, diagnostic and treatment concordance between PCDs and psychiatrists via collaborative video consultations (CVCs) records, and insights from focus group discussion (FGD) conducted with 12 PCDs. Results: About 68.12% of Udupi PCDs attended ≥3 sessions of the training, outperforming both Karnataka state PCDs (22.89%) and PCDs from nine other states (13.24%). Post-training, KAP scores improved significantly (mean difference: 1.89, Conclusion: Compared to Karnataka as a whole and other states, Udupi district's standout performance was likely driven by favorable trainee-related factors and adequate administrative support enabled through digital training.
