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
Background: The burden of Hypertension (HT) [P1][YT2] in Indonesian postmenopausal women has increased over the past years. Obesity is the most prevalent risk of HT among postmenopausal women. Objective: This study evaluates the relationship of fluctuating BMI with BP in postmenopausal women in Bogor, Indonesia. Methods: This longitudinal study acquired secondary data from a previous study of the "Cohort Study of NCD' Risk Factors" along with a two-year follow-up. Data were analyzed from a total of 888 postmenopausal women aged ≥ 25 years[P3][wr4]. BMI and BP fluctuations were calculated from baseline BMI at the first visit (T1) until the observation period (T7). The significance of panel analysis at p value < 0.05.[P5][wr6]. Results: The fixed-effect model showed a significant correlation between BMI changes with the changes in SBP and DBP and fluctuating BMI with SBP. After adjustment for physical activity, 1 kg of weight gain will increase SBP and DBP in normotensive, controlled, and uncontrolled hypertensive individuals. After adjusting for smoking, BMI reduction by 1% would lower the SBP as much as 2-3 mmHg compared to a stable BMI. Conclusions: Fluctuating BMI was a predictor in decreasing BP in postmenopausal women, so it could be used to control HT.
