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
Purpose: Obesity is a significant global public health issue affecting late primary school students' health and learning processes. This research aimed to predict factors influencing the prevention behaviors of obesity among overweight 9 to 12-year-old students. Samples and Methods: This cross-sectional predictive correlational study involved 216 overweight students in grades 4-6 and used a multi-stage sampling method. Comprehensive questionnaires meticulously collected data on demographics, self-perception, and obesity prevention behaviors. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, chi-square, and binary logistic regression. Results: The mean scores for self-perception of food consumption and physical activity were moderate (M = 19.13, S.D. = 5.68; M = 19.53, S.D. = 5.64, respectively). Similarly, obesity prevention behaviors were moderate (M = 42.90, S.D. = 8.48). The study identified factors significantly related to obesity prevention behaviors, including gender, grade point average (GPA), self-perception of food consumption and physical activity, daily allowance from family, and nutrition education (p < 0.05). Binary logistic regression confirmed that self-perception of food consumption (OR = 4.29; 95% CI: 1.72-10.73) and physical activity (OR = 2.585; 95% CI: 1.02-6.56), grade point averages (OR = 0.38; 95% CI: 0.18-0.82), daily allowance received from family (OR = 0.402; 95% CI: 0.17-0.94), nutrition education (OR = 0.352; 95% CI: 0.15-0.84), and male (OR = 0.113; 95% CI: 0.02-0.56) were significant predictors (p < 0.05), providing valuable insights into the factors influencing obesity prevention behaviors among overweight students. Conclusion: Male students who have good GPAs, high self-efficacy in food consumption and physical activity, nutrition education, and adequate financial support were more likely to engage in obesity prevention behaviors. Thus, educators and healthcare professionals should focus on enhancing self-perception, providing comprehensive nutrition education, and offering additional support to female students with lower GPAs. These measures will help improve behavior adjustment and support obesity prevention efforts.
