1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Eco-driving behaviors among taxi drivers can significantly contribute to reducing urban air pollution, particularly in megacities such as Tehran. This study aimed to identify the psychosocial predictors of air pollution-reducing behaviors among taxi drivers based on the Health Belief Model (HBM). A cross-sectional descriptive-analytical study was conducted in late 2024 with 401 taxi drivers in Tehran, using structured face-to-face interviews. A validated questionnaire assessed seven HBM constructs and eco-driving behaviors. Pearson correlation and stepwise multiple regression analyses were applied. The findings revealed that self-efficacy was the strongest predictor of eco-driving behavior (β = 0.324, p < 0.001), followed by awareness, perceived benefits, and perceived susceptibility. The final regression model explained 27.1% of the variance in eco-driving behavior (R
