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
contextThe body image research literature has addressed how young people perceive their self-image thoroughly. Seldom however were youths asked to draw their current vs. ideal selves, neither has this been explored in comparison to weight differences.
methodNinety participants aged 6-17 (mean 11.73±, SD = 2.84) drew how they perceive themselves ("Me") and how they might want to look like of they could change their appearance ("Preferred Me"). Participants completed a body figure scale test, and were measured to obtain their BMI percentile.
results180 drawings were analyzed. Results revealed a relation between drawing sizes of height, waist, width and weight status. Characters' emotions and weight were also associated.
conclusionDrawings are a youth friendly tool to gain non-invasive insight into youths' body image perception and can help capture perceptions attached to body image and weight. The results matter for medical, educational, and psychological professionals working on creating programs and tools to treat or assess youths' physical and mental challenges related to body image.
