This clue might be a double definition.

'see report' is the first definition.
'tell' can be an answer for 'report' (to report is to tell someone about something). I am not sure about the 'see' bit.

'have an effect' is the second definition.

(Other definitions for tell that I've seen before include "William .... was legendary Swiss hero-archer" , "toxophilite" , "William ..., skilled Swiss archer" , "Count - give an account" , "his hitting the apple?" .)
