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: Intuitive eating (IE) is an eating style where the person responds to the bodily signals of satiety and hunger. This study assessed IE in Saudi Arabia using the newly validated Saudi Arabic Intuitive Eating Scale 2 (IES-2). It also examined the influence of sociodemographic factors, sex, and BMI on the scale and subscale scores. Methods: This cross-sectional study gathered data online, using the Saudi Arabic IES-2, from individuals aged 18 years and older with a BMI of 18.5 kg/m Results: There were 387 respondents (57.9% women) with an average age of 31.83 ± 11.06 years. BMI showed a significant negative association with the total scale and subscale scores ( Conclusion: Our findings emphasize the multidimensional impact of sociodemographic factors on IE behaviors among Saudis, and the importance of culturally customized interventions to promote IE practices in the region. Preliminary findings support the promotion of IE in public health and prevention initiatives. Future research should explore the longitudinal relationships and intervention strategies aimed at enhancing IE practices.
