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
Background: This study evaluates the effectiveness of the IMPACT WV training portal as a resource for service providers and families affected by substance use in rural West Virginia. Objective: To evaluate perceived satisfaction and knowledge impact of service provider modules such as stigma and mental health resources in rural communities. Methods: Service providers were recruited from health centers, substance use treatment facilities, and schools across rural north central West Virginia. A total of 416 individuals registered for training modules on substance use and family support. Engagement and course completion rates were monitored, along with participant feedback via evaluations of course content and satisfaction ratings. Pre- and posttest assessments measured knowledge gains and skill improvements, utilizing descriptive statistics and nonparametric correlation tests for analysis. Results: Completion rates varied, with the stigma-free services module at 73% and the children with special health care needs module at 37.8%. Overall evaluations indicated positive feedback, although some modules received lower satisfaction scores. Pre- and post-assessment results showed significant knowledge improvements in key areas, including neonatal abstinence syndrome and substance use. Conclusion: This study underscores the commitment of rural service providers to enhance their competencies through the IMPACT WV training portal. It highlights the need for adaptive educational strategies to align with participant feedback, ultimately aiming to improve service provider knowledge, service delivery, and outcomes for families facing substance use disorders in rural communities.
