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
backgroundBody self-image questionnaire-short form (BSIQ-SF) is developed to measure body image perceptions. Due to the cultural, language and environmental differences between western and eastern population, the validity and reliability need to be established. The aim of this study was to determine validity and reliability of Malay version BSIQ-SF.
methodsA cross-sectional study involved web-based survey was employed. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was performed using SPSS version 22 and Mplus 7.3.
resultsThere were 688 young adults in Malaysia with mean age of 23.67 (SD = 0.188) and mean body mass index (BMI) of 23.34 (SD = 0.27) participated in the study. Exploratory factor analysis performed and the number domains reduced from nine to four, namely 'Negative Affect', 'Attractiveness Evaluation', 'Physical Functionality Awareness' and 'Height Dissatisfaction'. CFA further confirmed the structure of the model with adequate goodness-of-fit values [CFI = 0.927, TLI = 0.913, SRMR = 0.075, RMSEA = 0.053 (95% CI: 0.047, 0.060)].
conclusionThe revised 21-item of the Malay version BSIQ-SF was a valid and reliable instrument to measure body image perceptions among Malaysian young adults.
