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
Background and aim Climate change poses a serious threat and crisis to health globally, with reproductive and maternal health falling under the vulnerable group exposed to extreme temperatures, pollution, and climate-related health crises. Student nurses are the future of healthcare professionals; therefore, it is essential for nursing students to address and cope with these emerging environmental health challenges. This study aimed to assess the awareness of climate change and its impact on reproductive health among nursing students at a selected nursing college in Bhubaneswar, Odisha. Materials and methods A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted with 182 nursing students from various nursing courses, such as B.Sc. Nursing, GNM Nursing, and M.Sc. Nursing, at the Kalinga Institute of Nursing Sciences (KINS), Bhubaneswar. The data were collected using a semi-structured tool with multiple-choice questions that included various sociodemographic data and assessed knowledge and awareness levels related to climate change and its impact on reproductive health. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 25 (Armonk, NY: IBM Corp.) with descriptive statistics and a chi-square test to determine the associations related to it. Results Overall, 48.4% of nursing students had good knowledge, 28.0% had average knowledge, and 23.6% had poor knowledge. Statistical analysis revealed that sociodemographic factors such as age, gender, residence, parental occupation, and education were not significantly associated with knowledge levels (all p>0.05). However, courses such as B.Sc. Nursing fifth and sixth semesters and students who had prior exposure to the topic had the highest rate of good knowledge (70%). Students with prior exposure to the impact of reproductive health due to climate change had good knowledge (52.8%), and the students without any prior knowledge did not have good knowledge (44.1%). The primary sources of information include the internet/social media (42.3%), followed by teachers (20.3%). Conclusion Nursing students from Bhubaneswar had a moderate to good level of awareness related to the impact of climate change on reproductive health. Prior exposure to knowledge of climate change and its impact on reproductive health, along with formal educational sources, essentially enhanced and impacted the knowledge level. Also, it is essential to formally integrate this topic into the standard nursing curriculum for preparing the upcoming future healthcare professionals in a better manner.
