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: Food safety practices contribute as a primary factor to foodborne diseases and deaths, though there is no validated known psychometric properties scale accessible for consistent measurement. Aim: The current study aims to develop and validate the psychometric properties of the multifactorial Food Safety Practice Scale. Method: We adhered to the guidelines of Boateng Result: The final scale, FSPS-18, comprised 18 items, refined from an initial pool of 31 items, grouped into four highly correlated constructs, with inter-construct correlations ranging from 0.68 to 0.83. Factor loadings were substantial in both EFA and CFA (0.536 to 0.929). The scale demonstrated robust reliability in both datasets (Cronbach's alpha ≈ 0.93). CFA indices indicated excellent model fit. Additionally, the invariance test, convergent, discriminant and concurrent validity were well demonstrated. Although we rooted our conceptual framework in WHO's domains, our scale demonstrated four factors that are different from the concept. However, FSPS-18 factors are easily interpretable using the Theory of Planned Behavior model and Health Belief Model. Conclusion: The FSPS-18 has proven to be a reliable and valid scale, contributing to the standardisation of measuring food safety practices.
