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: The prevalence of psychological symptoms (emotional problems, behavioral problems, social adjustment difficulties) in adolescents continues to increase and has become a major concern in various countries. However, few studies have been conducted on the association between sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) consumption, weight-adjusted waist index (WWI), and psychological symptoms in adolescents. The present study provides a reference for the prevention and intervention of psychological symptoms in Chinese adolescents. Methods: A multistage stratified whole cluster random sampling method was used to assess psychological symptoms, SSB consumption, weight, waist circumference, and demographic information in 44,675 adolescents aged 12-17 years in mainland China in 2023. The associations between SSB consumption, WWI, and psychological symptoms among adolescents were analyzed using logistic regression model analysis and ordered logistic regression analysis with the generalized linear model. Results: The prevalence of psychological symptoms among Chinese adolescents was 20.9%, with boys (21.4%) having a higher prevalence than girls (20.5%), and the difference was statistically significant ( Conclusions: The prevalence of adolescent psychological symptoms is high in mainland China and is associated with SSB consumption and WWI. Effectively reducing SSB consumption and WWI plays a positive role in the prevention and intervention of adolescent psychological symptoms.
