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: Mental disorders are a major global public health issue that affects millions of people. Since its creation, the Mental Health Literacy Scale (MHLS) has been employed worldwide in mental health literacy studies. Methods: The study that is the subject of this paper, was divided into two phases: the first phase involved translating and adapting the MHLS survey questionnaire to the cultural background and the second phase concerned testing the psychometric properties of the Polish version of the MHLS-PL questionnaire on 212 nursing students. Results: The Polish version of the MHLS-PL questionnaire consists of 33 items, and through confirmatory factor analysis, a single-factor model (Cronbach's α coefficient was 0.93) and a five-factor model (Cronbach's α coefficient ranged from 0.61 to 0.93) were identified. The mean total MHL score among the students under the study was 117.11 (SD = 16.70). With regard to the five-factor model, respondents obtained the highest score on the "Attitudes that promote recognition and appropriate help-seeking" subscale (M = 59.44, SD = 11.03) and the lowest score on the "Knowledge of risk factors and causes" subscale (M = 6.04, SD = 1.33). In the multivariable model, the independent predictors of the MHLS-PL scale were age, education level and interaction with persons diagnosed with mental disorders during the respondent's studies. Conclusion: The study showed that the 33-item MHLS-PL scale, which includes five subscales, is a reliable and accurate instrument for assessing mental health literacy.
