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
This study evaluated 1) foundational helping competencies for Non-Specialist Providers (NSPs) trained in a transdiagnostic CBT-based intervention (PRO-ACT) for adolescents with anxiety and depression in Nairobi, Kenya and 2) preliminary clinical outcomes for adolescents receiving PRO-ACT. Seventeen NSPs were trained and assessed using role plays at pre-training, post-training, and post-supervision using the Enhancing Assessment of Common Therapeutic Factors (ENACT) tool, via a pre-post design (no control group). Eighteen adolescents were enrolled, received 4-6 PRO-ACT sessions, and assessed using the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) and Revised Children's Anxiety and Depression Scale (RCADS-25). There were no significant changes in NSPs' competencies from pre- to post-training. From pre-training to post-supervision, NSPs' Level 1 (Potentially harmful) scores significantly decreased (-1.12 items; 95% CI: -2.10, -0.15;
