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
The gastrointestinal problems in India are among the most common diseases that occur frequently. In an article it was mentioned that probiotics and related products play an important role in prevention of gastrointestinal disorders. There are numerous products available in the market but whether these are readily being consumed by people and are known about their benefits. In this paper, a study on knowledge, attitude and practice for probiotic foods among Indian participants were conducted from July 2023 to September 2023 using a structured questionnaire. It was circulated via emails and online social groups within all the states of the country. The responses were analysed using statistical package for social sciences v31 and through statistical tools like T test, F test and linear regression. To assess the correlations between the scores of knowledge, attitude and practice, Pearson correlation was applied. The mean knowledge, attitude and practice scores were 16, 23 and 8 respectively as determined by the scores from the responses. The knowledge, attitude and practice scores varied from respondents for age (P = 0.000181), gender (P = 0.000126), states (P = 4.19616433247292E-13), field of specialization (P = 0.000148) and occupation (P = 0.000794). It is found that the participants from the states of Uttarakhand and Haryana were significantly aware about the benefits and applicability but somehow lack knowledge in the right amount of consumption of these foods from nutritional aspects, whereas the participants from Delhi and Karnataka were found to have a positive approach towards the market value about the probiotic products in future. It is concluded that to improve the demand in India, some training sessions at the household level could be beneficial to increase right amount of consumption and awareness in the country.
