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
Gambling Disorder (GD) is a highly stigmatised condition with serious psychological, social and financial consequences. Limited public recognition regarding GD may hinder help-seeking, shape beliefs about recovery and reinforce stigma. This study seeks to establish the extent of recognition of GD as well as stigma towards it in Singapore's population using a vignette-based approach. Data from 595 participants from a nationwide vignette-based study on mental health literacy were analysed using weighted analysis and multivariable logistic and linear regression to address the aims. Participants received a vignette on GD and answered questions related to recognition of the condition, sociodemographic information, perception of help-seeking and chances of recovery for GD. Furthermore, the study also assessed stigma across three domains: "weak not sick", "dangerous/unpredictable", and "social distancing". The majority of participants (75.63%) correctly identified the vignette as GD. Informal networks, non-medical professional support and community-based resources were highly recommended help-seeking sources. Majority of the respondents believed that individuals with GD who seek appropriate help can achieve full recovery while those who do not would experience worsening of the condition. Predictors of higher stigma towards GD included older age, female gender, Malay or Indian ethnicity, being married, having friends or family members with similar problem and a high monthly income. While recognition of GD was relatively high among respondents, stigma toward individuals with GD remains prevalent particularly among certain demographic groups. Data from this study can help to improve public health interventions and policy efforts to better support those with GD.
