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 first year of university has been identified as a period of adoption of unhealthy lifestyle behaviors. However, only a few studies have addressed the extent of this phenomenon in Latin American universities. The aim of this study was to examine changes in physiotherapy students' lifestyle behaviors after one year at university. Methods: A total of 100 students of Results: The total of sample, 60 students were female (60%), 40 were male (40%), and the mean age was 21.2 years old. At one-year follow-up, the mean difference (MD) for weight was +5.8 kg [95% confidence interval (CI): 2.9 to 8.5; Conclusions: At the end of the first year of university, most students showed unhealthy lifestyle behaviors characterized by an increase in weight and body mass index, a decrease in the level of physical activity, low adherence to 24-hour movement guidelines, more sleep disturbance, poor diet quality, and harmful alcohol consumption. This indicates a need to address this problem during this critical period for developing interventions to improve lifestyle behaviors and prevent the occurrence of non-communicable chronic diseases.
