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
objectiveThe aim of this study was to examine the effect of an Environment-Based Education Program applied to adolescents on their pro-environmental behavior and ecological footprint awareness.
methodsThis research, conducted in a quasi-experimental design with a pre-test-post-test control group in non-randomized samples, was carried out with 10th-grade students attending a vocational high school in the Central Anatolia region of Turkey. The study included 52 students in the intervention group and 52 students in the control group. The Environment-Based Education Program, consisting of three weeks and three sessions, was applied to the students in the intervention group. Data were collected using a Personal Information Form, the Pro-Environmental Behavior Scale, and the Ecological Footprint Awareness Scale. Chi-square, dependent samples t-test, and independent samples t-test were used in the analysis of the data.
resultsAfter the applied Environment-Based Education Program, it was found that the mean total scores on the Pro-Environmental Behavior Scale of the intervention group increased in the post-test compared to the pre-test, and the difference was statistically significant (p<0.001). No significant difference was found between the intervention and control groups in ecological footprint awareness scores (p>0.05).
conclusionThe Environment-Based Education Program applied to adolescents was found to increase their pro-environmental behaviors. In light of these results, environmental education programs should be organized periodically for adolescents, and school visits should be planned by public health nurses.
