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
backgroundWe investigated the association between socioeconomic status and adherence to health check-ups in a Korean population aged 40 years or older.
methodsThis cross-sectional study included 12,311 participants who participated in the 2010-2012 Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Self-reported questionnaires were used to assess each participant's socioeconomic status (household income, occupation, and education) and adherence to health check-ups.
resultsMen with a higher income (highest vs. lowest: odds ratio [OR], 1.799; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.296-2.497) and men with a higher education level (≥12 vs. <6 years: OR, 1.488; 95% CI, 1.078-2.054) and office workers compared with manual workers (men: OR, 1.431; 95% CI, 1.077-1.902; women: OR, 1.783; 95% CI, 1.256-2.532) appeared to undergo more health check-ups. In particular, men and women with a higher income and education appeared more likely to undergo opportunistic health check-ups (men: highest vs. lowest income: OR, 2.380; 95% CI, 1.218-4.653; ≥12 vs. <6 years education: OR, 2.121; 95% CI, 1.142-3.936; women: highest vs. lowest income: OR, 4.042; 95% CI, 2.239-7.297; ≥12 vs. <6 years education: OR, 2.475; 95% CI, 1.283-4.775).
conclusionA higher socioeconomic status was associated with a higher rate of participation in health check-ups. More efforts are needed to identify the factors associated with disparity in adherence to health check-ups.
