Health-Related Lifestyles in Relation to Body Mass Index Among Young and Middle-Aged Women in Japan.

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: Being underweight, overweight, or obese can lead to adverse health effects. Hence, it is important to understand the specific factors that change the burden of underweight and overweight to target appropriate disease control strategies. This study was designed to examine the prevalence and factors associated with underweight and overweight among young and middle-aged women in Japan. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among women aged 20-59 years who participated in health checkups at a regional health care center in 2018 and 2019 ( Results: The prevalence of underweight and overweight/obesity were 12.3%, and 22.5%, respectively. No lifestyle factors were found to be significantly associated with being underweight. Having dinner within 2 hours before bed was positively associated with being overweight/obese [adjusted odds ratio (AOR): 1.448, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.014-2.068]. Women who gained 10 kg since their 20s were more likely to fall into overweight/obesity category (AOR: 9.674, 95% CI: 1.014-2.068). Women who were using a lipid-lowering medication (AOR: 3.150, CI: 1.892-5.246) were associated with three times higher risk of being overweight/obese. Hypertension and dyslipidemia were significantly associated with overweight/obesity (AOR: 3.094, 95% CI: 2.201-4.351 and AOR: 2.498, 95% CI: 1.831-3.409, respectively). Conclusion: One in five middle-aged women was overweight or obese, whereas one in eight was underweight. In relation to the prevention of overweight/obesity, specific health promotion messages regarding eating timing should be developed.
