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
Introduction: Participation in specific health checkups is low in Japan, especially among middle-aged community residents with municipal National Health Insurance (NHI). This study explored associations between recommendations from public health nurses, medical professionals, and family members and participation in specific health checkups among middle-aged Japanese community residents with NHI. Methods: This mail survey was conducted in 2020, and it included 33,902 community residents with NHI aged 40-64 years from five cities in Osaka Prefecture, Japan. Of these, 12,446 (36.7%) community residents agreed to participate in the survey. After excluding those with missing data, 11,180 participants were included in the analyses. Participants were classified into a participation group and a nonparticipation group. Those who selected "I underwent a specific health checkup in the past year" were classified as the participation group. Results: Of the 11,180 community residents with NHI, 4,384 (39.2%) were classified in the participation group. After adjusting for confounding factors, the presence (vs. absence) of recommendations from public health nurses (multivariable-adjusted odds ratio [OR], 1.81; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.47-2.24), primary care physicians (multivariable-adjusted OR, 2.79; 95% CI, 2.49-3.13), nurses (multivariable-adjusted OR, 2.06; 95% CI, 1.57-2.69), and family members (multivariable-adjusted OR, 1.22; 95% CI, 1.12-1.32) was positively associated with participation in specific health checkups. Conclusions: Our findings suggest that recommendations from public health nurses, medical professionals (primary care physicians and nurses), and family members may be important to promote participation in specific health checkups among middle-aged Japanese community residents with NHI.
