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
Neuroanatomy is widely recognized as a challenging discipline, often leading to neurophobia among students and disinterest in neurology among healthcare professionals. The current study aimed to evaluate the perceptions and teaching approaches of neuroanatomy professors in Medicine and Physiotherapy programs at universities of Paraíba, Brazil, in order to determine whether the lecturers' strategies could be a contributing factor to the low engagement in neurosciences. A cross-sectional study that utilizes a quantitative method of data collection with qualitative enhancement was performed with neuroanatomy lecturers from universities of Paraiba, Brazil. They were invited to complete an online questionnaire. A total of 16 professors (8 from Medicine course and 8 from Physiotherapy course) from 11 institutions were interviewed. In our sample, lecturers teaching in Medicine tended to hold higher formal qualifications compared to those teaching in Physiotherapy. Despite the difference in formal qualifications, professors of both courses identify themselves as proficient in teaching neuroanatomy. Concerning to practical lessons, a low use of cadaveric specimens, anatomical models and dissection was observed in professors of both courses.The most frequently cited literature was
