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
Objectives: This study is aimed to explore the influence of higher vocational college students' lifestyle and mental health on weight change in Fuzhou during COVID-19. Methods: This study adopted the cross-sectional study method and a total of 1426 students (1111 women and 315 men) were recruited from higher vocational college in Fuzhou. The questionnaire mainly included six dimensions: demographic characteristics, anthropometric measurements, dietary habits, physical activity, sleep quality and psychological status. Results: According to the weight changes, the group was divided into weight loss group, constant weight group and weight gain group. More people in the weight gain group had increased their intake of various foods compared to the other groups (P < 0.001), in addition, the number of physical activity decreased and basically unchanged was more, and the number of sedentary time increased and basically unchanged was more in the three groups(P < 0.001). The incidence of poor sleep quality (60.3 %, 46.9 %, 57.5 %, P < 0.001), depressive symptoms (58.9 %, 47.5 %, 62.0 %, P < 0.001) and anxiety symptoms (42.5 %, 35.8 %, 45.3 %, P = 0.005) in the weight loss group and the weight gain group were significantly higher than those in the constant weight group. After adjusting for the potential confounders (including age, sex, grade, smoking, drinking, diet, etc.), decreased physical activity, depressive symptoms and anxiety symptoms were independent risk factors for weight gain compared with the constant weight group(OR = 1.643, P = 0.046; OR = 1.695, P < 0.001; OR = 1.389, P = 0.020). Conclusions: The increased food intake, decreased physical activity, depressive symptoms and anxiety symptoms were positively correlated with weight gain.
