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
introductionEating disorders (ED) are relatively frequent, but convey a high mortality and morbidity. More than half of individuals with ED remain undetected in primary care. The general practitioners (GP) are in a strategic position to detect patients with ED.
aimsTo determine the prevalence of ED in Tunisian women visiting their GP using the SCOFF-F score and to determinate the associated socioeconomic, clinical, and lifestyle factors.
methodsThis is a cross-sectional study of women who consulted two primary health care in the city of Monastir, during 4 months of the year 2020. The SCOFF-F was performed.
resultsWe included 445 women; the mean age of our patients was 36 ± 12 years. SCOFF-F was positive in 48% of cases CI95% [43-52%], 14% presented with bulimia nervosa and 12% with binge eating disorder. Patients with ED were overweight in 33% of cases, 40% perform a physical activity and 53% eat three meals per day. A family history of ED was 35%. 20% of the patients have a history of psychiatric disorder. In multivariate analysis, performing physical activity to control weight, eating three meals a day, maintaining the current diet without trying to change into a different one, non continous occupation and anxiety increase the risk of ED with respective ORs of 2.34, 4.26, 3.69, 2.09 and 2.09 respectively. Ages between 35 and 60 years, and a history of ED in siblings increases the risk of ED by 1.6.
conclusionOur study concluded that ED was associated with common family behavior, especially among siblings, and with a particular psychological state which are interesting to screen by GP and to focus on targeting family care.
