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
Introduction: Adolescence is a crucial part of life characterised by rapid body changes that can be influenced by perceptions and misinformation regarding their body image. Body image is usually associated with self-esteem and self-worth. Therefore, it is important to address this issue at this transitional time. This study aims to understand the perception of body image and its correlation with nutritional status among first-year medical students. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among first-year medical students enrolled in the MBBS curriculum. Data related to perception of body image were collected through a self-administered, pre-tested questionnaire. Height and weight were taken by the principal investigator at the time of data collection and body mass index (BMI) was calculated according to Asian criteria for BMI. Kappa statistics were used for the agreement between self-perceived body image and BMI. Results: A total of 234 out of the 250 students enrolled in the first year gave consent for the study. The median (interquartile range [IQR]) age of the students was 18 (17-19) years and 72% were male students. One-fourth of the students were dissatisfied with their weight (26.9%) followed by height (25%). The Kappa statistics for agreement between BMI and self-perception about body weight was 0.373 (95% confidence interval [CI], standard error (SE) of Kappa = 0.048), showing poor agreement. Conclusion: One-fourth of the students were dissatisfied with their physical appearance. The agreement between perceived body weight and nutritional status was poor (64.53%).
