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
Knee osteoarthritis offers significant opportunities for prevention and the mitigation of its severity and associated symptoms through lifestyle modifications. This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of an educational intervention based on the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) in promoting preventive behaviors against knee osteoarthritis among women aged over 40 years residing in Fars, Iran. This research utilized a quasi-experimental design. The study population comprised 100 women over the age of 40 who were registered at health centers in Fasa, Iran. Data were collected using a questionnaire based on the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB). The intervention was implemented through eight educational sessions specifically designed to promote TPB-informed preventive behaviors against knee osteoarthritis. The findings revealed statistically significant differences between the experimental and control groups regarding their scores on attitude, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, intention, and behavior, both before and after the intervention. At 3 months post-intervention, the experimental group demonstrated significant improvements in all measured constructs, while the control group showed no substantial changes. This study demonstrates that implementing structured educational interventions grounded in behavioral theory, specifically the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), can effectively promote preventive behaviors against knee osteoarthritis, thereby potentially reducing its associated morbidity.
