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
Introduction: Strategies for environmentally sustainable healthcare may be informed by considering key perspectives on how the health sector contributes to climate change in the Caribbean. This study assessed the views of health professionals (HP) and general adult public population (PP) on environmentally sustainable healthcare in Trinidad and Tobago (T&T). Methods: A cross-sectional design with a self-administered online survey was used to collect data from participants through convenience sampling. Descriptive statistics summarized the characteristics of the study population and survey responses were based on unweighted data. Results: Of 799 eligible responses, 52 % were PP and 48 % were HP. Most participants only had some knowledge of the topic (HP 41 %, PP 32 %). Both groups reported practicing general sustainable behaviors more frequently outside of work than at work ( Conclusion: Although there was limited knowledge among participants on environmentally sustainable healthcare in T&T, participants were concerned about the environmental impact of the health sector and were willing to learn more. Addressing barriers and equipping HP with necessary knowledge and support to practice sustainability in the health sector may require a multidisciplinary approach with emphasis on education and awareness.
