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 desire to attain ideal body dimensions determined by the society causes internal pressure and negative emotional intensity in young people, and this leads to mood disorders. It was aimed to examine the relationship between university students' perceived body weights and their depression, anxiety, and stress levels. Methods: This cross-sectional, descriptive study was conducted with 950 university students at Uskudar University in Istanbul, Turkey during the 2021-2022 academic year. The Information Form and the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS-42) were administered online through a structured questionnaire created in Google Forms. IBM SPSS v26® software was used in the analysis of the data. Results: 74.4% of the students were female. The mean age was 19.17±1.11 years, and the mean body mass index (BMI) was 22.12±3.87 kg/m Conclusion: There was a strong relationship between perceived body weight and depression, 1 of every 4 students misjudged their body weight. Body perception of participants who were 'underweight' according to BMI was in the perceptional direction of obesity and who were 'overweight' was in the perceptional direction of thinness. Students who were 'normal weight' according to BMI have a healthier body image.
