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/aim: Breast cancer (BC) is a major health threat to women of reproductive age, including female university students. Female students' lifestyles such as unhealthy diet, physical inactivity, non adoption of screening practices may prone them to this disease. Screening practices to ensure early detection such as Breast Self-Examination (BSE), Clinical Breast Self-Examination (CBE) are cost effective but not often practiced. Being a non-science faculty in a remote area calls for urgent attention. This study investigated knowledge and adoption of screening practices (SP) against BC among female law students at Osun State University, Nigeria. Materials/Method: The descriptive cross-sectional used a researchers designed, semi-structured and self-administered questionnaire to purposively recruit 250 female law students. Knowledge of BC SP was measured using 7-items of 14-points scores (0-8 as 'poor'; 9-14 as 'good'). Practice score was measured with 8 items of 20-points scores, which gave 'poor practice' (0-10) and 'good practic e' (11-20). Data was analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics with SPSS version 23 (p = 0.05). Results: One third (31.2%) were within 25-29 age group; 78.0% were single and 30.8% were in their first year. Overall, 98.0% had good knowledge of SP with 40% adopting screening practices: where 44.0 do regular BSE and 36.0% ensured uptake of CBE from doctors/nurses respectively with 28.0% reporting abnormality. Knowledge and screening practices were associated with age, level of study, and religion (p<0.05). Conclusion: Good knowledge but low screening practices existed. Respondents need a tailored health information to encourage adoption of screening measures.
