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
to analyze the effectiveness of messages sent by cell phone on adherence to the use of masks, hand hygiene and social distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic. a multicenter quasi-experimental clinical trial conducted in four Brazilian universities between July and October 2020. The sample consisted of 429 people from different Brazilian cities who received messages every two days for seven weeks about individual protection measures. Adherence to the measures was analyzed by an instrument developed by the researchers of the main center and refined in collaboration with researchers from the other centers, consisting of 13 questions and a five-point Likert scale, with the overall score ranging from 13 to 65 points, in which the higher the score, the greater the adherence. Statistical analysis was performed using multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA), considering p<0.05 as significant. an improvement in the adherence score was observed over the weeks. When compared with the score obtained before the intervention, there was a significant improvement in adherence in the last two weeks (p<0.001). the intervention using messages sent by cell phone showed to be effective in promoting adherence to individual protection practices against COVID-19. However, the observed sample loss may have affected the results, limiting the generalizability of the findings. Therefore, the effects identified should be interpreted with caution.
