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
Recent years have witnessed a surge in global interest and awareness regarding sustainability. Research highlights the crucial role of sustainability education in enhancing student awareness and influencing their sustainable behaviors. Sustainability awareness among university-level students is a crucial factor in shaping future attitudes and behaviors toward sustainable development. In Cairo, Egypt, where rapid urbanization and environmental challenges are prominent, assessing sustainability awareness can provide valuable insights for educational interventions and policy development. This study explores the level of sustainability awareness in Cairo, Egypt, concerning the academic levels and socio-educational profiles of the students. A questionnaire was developed and distributed among various students in different schools in Cairo, Egypt; 524 responses were collected within more than one year. The questionnaire responses were analyzed using several advanced numerical techniques, including but not limited to chi-squared tests, Spearman correlation, and multinomial logistic regression. The relationship between selected parameters on the level of sustainability awareness and its significance was identified. Findings reveal that while a significant portion of participants have encountered the term "sustainability," their actual knowledge of sustainability concepts, such as recycling, renewable resources, and energy conservation, remains limited. Notably, a majority of students are not actively involved in any recycling practices. Despite these knowledge gaps, the study indicates that a considerable number of students engage in sustainable actions and lifestyles. The study concludes that fostering sustainability awareness requires a multi-stakeholder approach involving universities, schools, governments, and local municipalities. Recommendations include integrating mandatory sustainability courses into academic programs, supporting student-led sustainability initiatives both on and off campus, and implementing resource conservation measures within educational institutions. Moreover, the study emphasizes the need for collaborative efforts among all stakeholders who significantly influence individual sustainable knowledge and behaviors.
