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
Littered wastes are one of the important problems in the urban environment that depends on the behavior of citizens. In this study, the perceived behavioral control of citizens and its relationship with waste littering behavior was investigated. In addition to this. the result of this behavior in the status of the urban environment was evaluated by interpreting the Clean Environment Index. The results showed that the health and environmental consequences of littering were not properly understood by the respondents because 54% were not bothered by the litter in the urban environment, only 36% considered this waste as a threat to the urban environment, and more than 90% believed that all urban litter was completely collected by the urban cleaning system. Furthermore, the assessment of respondents' perceived behavioral control showed that 85% of citizens agreed that they could avoid littering, while more than 80% agreed that they could hold the waste for a few minutes until they found a trash bin or waste container. However, 89% responded that they had waste littering behavior, 40% of which were in low access points. Littering behavior resulted in an average density of littered waste of 0.3797 items/m
