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: Evidence on theory-based workplace smoking cessation interventions in low- and middle-income countries remains limited, particularly regarding longitudinal behavioral outcomes. Our study aimed to examine the longitudinal associations between a Health Belief Model-based smoking cessation intervention and smoking-related behavioral outcomes among industrial workers in Myanmar. Methods: A quasi-experimental, two-group longitudinal study was conducted in an industrial zone in Mandalay, Myanmar (2018-2019). Two industries were selected and assigned at the industry level to intervention or control groups to minimize contamination. Current male cigarette smokers ( Results: Compared with the control group, the intervention group had significantly lower cigarette consumption and higher intention to quit and abstinence at follow-up. In adjusted GEE models, significant group × time associations were observed for cigarette smoked per week ( Conclusion: An HBM-based intervention combining workplace health education and mobile phone short message service support was associated with improvements in smoking-related behavioral outcomes among industrial workers in Myanmar, including reduced cigarette consumption, increased quit intention, and higher short-term abstinence. Integration of theory-based workplace health education with mobile messaging may support smoking cessation efforts in low- and middle-income countries.
