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: Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including proper nutrition and physical activity, is essential for reducing non-communicable diseases (NCDs). However, literature lacks sufficient insight into the factors influencing individuals' ability to adopt healthy lifestyles. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the factors affecting healthy lifestyle adoption among adults, focusing on sociodemographic aspects, regional variations, and health determinants. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted between February and March 2023 using convenient sampling, resulting in 999 adult participants. A validated and self-administered questionnaire, including sociodemographic data, health status, and the validated Arabic version of the Capability Assessment for Diet and Activity (CADA) scale, was distributed. Inferential statistics were reported using bi-variate analyses and multivariate regression. Results: The capability to adopt a healthy lifestyle was 3.28, with scores for physical activity and diet at 3.3 and 3.27, respectively. Bivariate analyses revealed significant associations of age, educational level, income, housing type, region, weight, and perceived physical and psychological health status with the capability to adopt a healthy lifestyle. In adjusted analyses, males had lower diet scores ( Conclusion: The findings underscore the impact of gender, income, housing type, region, and perceived health status on individuals' ability to engage in physical activity and adopt a healthy diet. Thus, health strategies that address these differences could enhance the adoption of healthier lifestyles and reduce the prevalence of lifestyle-related diseases in the population.
