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
backgroundHealth professionals in the UK and internationally often lack knowledge of prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE) and fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD). Raising awareness of PAE and FASD across health and social care sectors is vital to support Scotland's implementation of neurodevelopmental pathways. This study evaluated whether engaging in the Fundamentals of FASD contributed to change in (i) attitudes toward the health advice given to pregnant women, (ii) attitudes toward PAE, (iii) attitudes toward FASD, and (iv) knowledge of FASD. Furthermore, this study examined whether knowledge and attitudinal changes are maintained to 12 months posttraining.
methodsA total of 1327 attendees attended across 14 workshops. Of these, 1005 completed an initial evaluation questionnaire assessing their attitudes and knowledge toward PAE and FASD (pretraining ["T1"]). Repeated-measure follow-up responses were collected immediately after training ("T2"; n = 525); at 3 months ("T3"; n = 128); and at 12 months ("T4"; n = 157).
resultsLinear mixed models revealed trainees demonstrated significant improvement on all measures at posttraining but demonstrated a varied pattern at the T3 and T4 follow-up. Attitudes toward the health advice about alcohol use in pregnancy and alcohol use in pregnancy generally demonstrated no change between T2 and T4, indicating improvement was sustained from T2 to T4. In contrast, attitudes toward FASD and FASD knowledge were observed to significantly decline from T2 through to T4, albeit remaining higher than the pretraining.
conclusionsAttending the Fundamentals of FASD was associated with significant improvement in knowledge and attitudes toward PAE and FASD. A decline in FASD knowledge across time, albeit remaining above pretraining scores suggests ongoing or refresher training is required. Provision of training within continuing professional development frameworks may help sustain awareness and encourage healthcare professionals to be better equipped in supporting individuals affected by PAE and/or FASD.
