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.

Abstract
Background: Tobacco use continues to be a major public health concern in India despite the enactment of the Cigarettes and Other Tobacco Products Act (COTPA). Young adults in higher education are particularly vulnerable to initiation, making assessment of their awareness and compliance with tobacco legislation crucial. Materials and Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional online study was conducted among 366 students in Health professional and technical courses at a deemed university in Gurugram using stratified random sampling. A validated 25-item Google Form questionnaire assessed students' awareness, attitude, and perceptions regarding compliance with COTPA. Responses were statistically analyzed with significance set at Results: With a response rate of 40.6%, awareness of COTPA varied significantly across disciplines. Medical and dental students showed higher awareness of smoke-free campus regulations (92.9% and 91.8%) than engineering students (76.5%, Conclusion: Students demonstrated moderate awareness and positive attitude towards tobacco laws but significant enforcement gaps persist. Strengthening COTPA implementation in educational institutions is essential to protect young adults and advance tobacco control.
