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
Weight self-stigma (WSS) is a personal experience of negative self-evaluations, perceived discrimination, and shame about body weight. Studies suggested that WSS could negatively affect quality of life, eating behavior, and psychological outcomes. WSS has been linked with a number of obesogenic health outcomes that complicate weight loss interventions. Thus, this study aimed to examine the effect of WSS on the quality of life and dietary habits among adult students. A sample of 385 students from Riyadh universities participated in this cross-sectional study and completed three online questionnaires: the WSS questionnaire, the WHO quality of life questionnaire, and a dietary habit questionnaire. The average age of participants was 24 ± 6.74, and the majority were female (78.4%). Results demonstrated a negative association between all QOL domains and WSS (
