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
objectivesTo examine psychosocial and functional correlates of nutrition in a nonrandom sample of Irish community-dwelling older adults.
designCross-sectional observational study.
settingTechnology Research for Independent Living (TRIL) Clinic, a comprehensive geriatric assessment facility in St James's Hospital, Dublin. Data were collected from participants by medical personnel (physical assessments) and psychologists (questionnaires), between August 2007 and May 2009.
participants556 participants (388 females; 168 males) ranging in age from 60-92 years (Mean 72.5 years, SD 7.1). All were community-dwelling and provided informed consent. MEASUREMENTS: The Nestlé Mini-Nutritional Assessment (MNA®), Time to get up and go (TUG) and the Lubben Social Network Scale-18 (LSNS-18) were used to assess nutrition, functional mobility and social support.
methodsMultivariate binary logistic regression was used to examine the association between social support or mobility and nutritional status, whilst controlling for possible confounders (age, gender, living alone and material deprivation).
resultsThe strongest predictors of abnormal nutritional status were mobility (p < 0.001) and social support (p = 0.005). Other significant predictors of nutritional risk were age (p = 0.032) and deprivation (p = 0.018).
conclusionThe results emphasise the importance of mobility and social supports in mediating nutritional outcomes in Irish community-dwelling older adults.
