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
Objective: Repeated guidance through specific health guidance (SHG), a service that provides health advice to high-risk individuals for specific health examinations, may be affected by examinees' mental health status. However, the association between repeated SHG sessions and mental health remains unclear. Materials and Methods: Data were collected from 123 men and women who underwent specific health checkups at Jiaikai Izuro Imamura Hospital between April 13, 2021 and April 13, 2022 after receiving SHG in the previous year. A questionnaire survey was conducted to assess burnout, resilience, and lifestyle-related factors such as weight change and the amount of alcohol consumed. Odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for repeated SHG were estimated using stepwise multiple logistic and mediation analyses. Results: The results showed that repeated SHG was significantly associated with weight gain ≥10 kg from the age of 20 years (OR=4.41, 95% CI 1.74-11.20) and burnout subscale of cynicism (OR=4.18, 95% CI 1.31-13.33). Conclusion: Weight loss guidance could be an effective component of SHG. Additionally, individuals who are repeatedly provided with SHG experience a mental health burden. Furthermore, interventions to reduce cynicism may be necessary to prevent the need for repeated SHG.
