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
Objective: Occupational exposure to cooking fumes has been associated with an increased risk of lung cancer. However, limited research has examined determinants of preventive behavior among institutional foodservice workers. This study applies the Health Belief Model (HBM) to investigate behavioral predictors and the moderating role of risk awareness. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted during the last week of October 2024 among 305 institutional foodservice workers in South Korea. Structural equation modeling and multi-group analysis were used to examine relationships among Health Belief Model constructs and preventive behavior, as well as the moderating effect of awareness of the association between cooking fumes and lung cancer. Results: Perceived threat and perceived benefits were significant predictors of preventive behavior. Perceived susceptibility and severity contributed to perceived threat. Risk awareness significantly moderated the relationship between perceived barriers and preventive behavior. Conclusions: The findings highlight the importance of risk awareness and health belief factors in promoting preventive behaviors related to occupational carcinogen exposure. Targeted risk communication strategies may enhance workplace health interventions and reduce disparities in occupational health outcomes.
