Recommendations of Lifestyle Modification According to a Survey of First-Year University Students.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine research, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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 analyzed what kind of lifestyle modification first-year university students need based on the results of a health-consciousness survey conducted in first-year students immediately after they entered a university.
methodsThis population-based cross-sectional study used a "questionnaire survey on lifestyle and health for promoting health" conducted in Japan in 2015. From among an initial pool of 3,912 students, we excluded 314 due to insufficient data. The remaining 3,598 students (2,206 males and 1,392 females) were divided into four groups according to body mass index (BMI) based on Japan Society for the Study of Obesity "Guidelines for the management of obesity disease 2016": low (18.5 > BMI), less than standard (22.0 > BMI ≥ 18.5), standard or higher (25.0 > BMI ≥ 22.0) and obesity (BMI ≥ 25.0).
resultsFemales had an ideal body image that was at a lower body weight regardless of their BMI. Males in the low BMI and obesity groups tended to be less aware of health issues. For each level of BMI, and in both males and females, the most frequent report of stress was "sometimes feel". The most frequent method for relieving stress was spending time with friends. Among males, those in the obesity group spent more time with "personal computers, televisions and games, etc." in a sitting position. When students were asked to rank which of their lifestyle habits needed the most improvement, "lack of exercise" was the highest, followed by "irregular schedule" and "dietary habits". In daily living behavior, a significant difference was observed for "exercise" among males, but not females.
conclusionThe attitudes of both males and females regarding the importance of physical activity and the necessity of efforts to improve health are presented. Health education for university students based on the attitudes may be useful for the prevention of lifestyle-related diseases for themselves in the future and before they become parents.
