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
Objective: This study was conducted to examine the effects of social media use in pregnant women on orthorexia nervosa (ON) tendency. Methods: The descriptive study was carried out between June 10 and September 30, 2022 with 200 pregnant women admitted to the Gynecology and Obstetrics Clinic. The researchers' Information Form, the Healthy Eating Obsession Scale (ORTO-11), and the Social Media Use Integration Scale (SMUIS) were used to collect data. Results: The mean ORTO-11 scale score of pregnant women was 29.18 ± 4.52 and the mean SMUIS scale score was 29.37 ± 10.02. A very weak, negative, statistically significant relationship was found between the mean score of the pregnant women from the SMUIS scale and the mean score from the ORTO-11 scale (p<0.05). According to multiple linear hierarchical regression analysis, age (β=-0.183; p<0.05), place of residence (β=0.181; p<0.05), intended pregnancy (β=0.140; p<0.05), paying attention to the food intake (β=0.139; p<0.05), BMI (β=0.151; p<0.05) and, SMUIS (β=0.829; p<0.05) were significant predictors of the ON tendency in pregnant women. Conclusion: In our study, it was found that the use of social media by pregnant women increased their tendency to develop orthorexia nervosa. These findings are important in terms of interventions for the detection, prevention, and treatment of orthorexia nervosa during pregnancy.
