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: The military police officer is exposed to several risk factors that could lead to physical and psychiatric disorders. However, there is a paucity of scientific literature on the health of special operations police officers. Objectives: To identify the main causes and associated factors of forensic medical examinations among members of a Battalion of Special Police Operations. Methods: This cross-sectional study analyzed data from 210 forensic medical examinations performed between January 2019 and June 2021. The dependent variable was the reason for the appointment, and the independent variables were gender, age, military rank, and length of career. Bivariate analyses were performed using the chi-squared test or Fisher's exact test. Results: Most police officers were men (98.1%), military (41.8%), with a mean age of 36.6 years and a mean length of service of 12.9 years. The most common reason for an examination was to obtain a physical fitness report (44.3%), followed by routine examination of healthy police officers (17.6%) and trauma (14.3%). There were no statistically significant associations between the independent variables and trauma appointments. However, there was a statistical association between appointments for physical fitness reports and being under 35 years of age. Conclusions: Most common reasons for forensic medical examinations were physical fitness reports, routine examinations, and trauma. Examinations for physical fitness reports were statistically associated with younger age.
