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
objectiveTo investigate the factors influencing handgrip pressure (HGP) in typical children and adolescents and those with spina bifida (SB).
methodsThis cross-sectional study enrolled 126 typical participants and 58 with SB, aged 8-16 years, categorized into subgroups: typical children (typical prepubertal;
resultsIn typical children, decreases in height, fat and lean body mass were associated with decreased HGP. In typical adolescents, females exhibited higher HGP than males, and increases in lean body mass and height were positively associated with HGP; and sedentary individuals exhibited higher HGP compared to active counterparts. In SB adolescents, increases in fat and lean body mass were associated with higher HGP, and greater physical activity was associated with stronger HGP. Participants with sacral injury level showed higher HGP than those with thoracic injury level. No association was observed for SB children.
conclusionExcept for SB children, various factors, mainly the lean body mass, significantly influenced the HGP in all groups. When the outcome is HGP, it is important to monitor body composition and physical activity in typical children and adolescents and those with SB.
