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
Introduction: Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) cause 71% of global deaths, with many risk factors originating in childhood. Understanding adolescent health knowledge and behaviors across countries is essential for targeted public health interventions. This study compares health literacy, dietary habits, physical activity, mental health awareness, sexual health education, and substance use awareness between adolescents in India and the United States (US). Design and methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 200 adolescents (100 per country) recruited through educational institutions and online platforms. Stratified sampling ensured representation across age (13-18 years), gender, and geographic location (urban vs rural). A structured questionnaire, adapted from validated instruments, assessed health-related behaviors and knowledge. Descriptive statistics and chi-square tests compared responses, and logistic regression adjusted for confounders. Results: Significant differences emerged between Indian and US adolescents. Indian respondents had lower mental health awareness (46% vs 88%, Conclusion: Findings highlight disparities in adolescent health literacy and behaviors across India and the US. Public health efforts should prioritize mental health literacy, nutrition education, and physical activity, especially in India. Digital platforms and school-based initiatives can help bridge knowledge gaps and promote healthier adolescent behaviors globally.
