Article in Indian journal of psychological medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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: A healthy lifestyle is important for recovery, coping with life's stresses, minimizing the occurrence and impact of health issues, and improving quality of life. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle may help in preventing or delaying the onset of many health problems. Methods: A quantitative research approach with a randomized control trial (RCT) was adopted. 130 outpatients were randomized to experimental and control groups. The data were analyzed by SPSS version 28.8 and R software. Results: Waist circumference (WC) significantly differed between the experimental group and the control group (F = 14.87, Conclusion: The results of this study support that counseling about a healthy lifestyle is effective as long-term strategies to avoid weight gain, engagement in adequate physical activity, taking nutritious food and maintaining healthy sleep can, in the long run, prevent metabolic syndrome. These interventions can be delivered at a low cost, are safer and practically feasible and may have a long-term impact on the quality of life.
