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
Objective: We aimed to assess the recent levels of knowledge and attitudes toward tobacco smoking among adolescents aged 12-16 years in 2010-2019, and to examine trends from 1999 to 2019. Methods: We used the most recent data from 145 countries/territories (hereafter "countries") that conducted at least one Global Youth Tobacco Survey (GYTS) between 2010 and 2019 to assess the current levels of knowledge and attitudes toward tobacco smoking among adolescents aged 12-16 years. And 112 countries that conducted at least three GYTS surveys from 1999 to 2019 were used to assess the trends among adolescents aged 12-16 years over time. Results: Among 570,492 adolescents from 145 countries, 13.9% (95% Conclusions: Incorrect beliefs and positive attitudes toward tobacco smoking were prevalent among adolescents worldwide. Moreover, these beliefs and attitudes toward tobacco smoking have either persisted or increased in most included countries over time. Targeted interventions and policies are needed to reduce these and promote accurate knowledge about tobacco use and its harmful effects.
