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
Psychologists and other scholars have long studied the influence of beliefs on behavior, proposing models that illuminate aspects of the belief-behavior relation. However, prior psychological theories have not explained how a particular belief influences behavior. This limitation coincides with the assumption, common among both psychologists and lay observers of human behavior, that beliefs are powerful drivers of behavior. To improve our understanding of the belief-behavior association, we first show evidence that the association between beliefs and behaviors is, generally speaking, small (
