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
objectivesEating disorders (EDs) are a significant global issue among adolescents, including those in boarding schools; however, this population remains under-researched. This study investigated the factors associated with EDs among Indonesian boarding school students.
methodsUsing a cross-sectional approach, 1,400 adolescents were selected through purposive sampling. The study examined factors such as body mass index (BMI), body image, mood, loneliness, and weight loss using a modified combination of questionnaires. Data analysis was performed using logistic regression in SPSS 21 with a significance level of 0.05.
resultsFour factors significantly influenced the risk of developing ED. A lower BMI (underweight or normal) decreased the risk (OR=0.2 and 0.3, respectively; CI: 0.140-0.360 and 0.231-0.524, respectively). A lower drive for leanness reduced the likelihood of EDs (OR=0.49; CI: 0.347-0.713). Lower levels of muscularity-oriented eating also decreased ED risk (OR=0.39; CI: 0.273-0.573). Conversely, unhealthy weight loss experiences significantly increased ED risk (OR=8.9; CI: 6.728-11.827).
conclusionsThese findings highlight the complex factors contributing to EDs risk, emphasizing the need for targeted interventions to address body image concerns, nutritional practices, and weight loss experiences to promote the well-being of students in boarding schools. The implementation of structured health education programs that emphasize balanced nutrition, positive body image, and healthy weight management is recommended to address eating disorders. Nursing and health professionals play key roles in the development and delivery of these programs.
