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
backgroundEating disorders are more prevalent in Western countries and their prevalence is on the rise in India, mainly due to peer pressure and the influence of media. However, research on eating disorders is limited in India. The aim of this study is to estimate the prevalence of eating disorders among senior college students and to ascertain factors for eating disorder risk. MATERIALS AND
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted among 807 students attending 2 of the arts and science colleges in a metropolitan city (Mumbai) over a period of 12 months from June 2019 to June 2020. A predesigned case record form was used to collect information on sociodemographic profiles and other factors related to eating disorder risk. Eating Attitude test (EAT-26) was used as a screening test to find the prevalence of those at risk for eating disorders. Munich-ED quest was used for the diagnosis of the eating disorder.
resultsData were analyzed using SPSS version 16.0. The Chi-square test was used to find the association of various factors with eating disorder risk. Our study found the overall proportion of eating disorder risk to be 42.25%. Among them, 19 (2.35%) individuals had night eating syndrome and 7 (0.86%) had binge eating syndrome as per DSM-5 criteria using Munich ED Quest. On logistic regression, we found fasting once or twice a week (OR: 2.916;95%CI: 1.524-5.574;
conclusionScreening of students with a simple tool like EAT-26 would prove beneficial in the early identification of those at risk of eating disorders.
