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 explored the mechanisms underlying eating behaviors among Chinese older adults using the COM-B model, which conceptualizes behavior through Capability, Opportunity, and Motivation components. Methods: A qualitative descriptive design was adopted. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 20 community-dwelling older adults in Zhenjiang, Jiangsu Province, China, from October to December 2024. Thematic analysis was employed to analyze the data. Results: Four major themes were identified: Restrictive Eating, Emotional Eating, Nutritional Literacy, and External Eating. Dietary patterns were influenced by physical health conditions, emotional states, family dynamics, and digital barriers to food information access. Conclusions: Eating behaviors among older adults are shaped by complex and interconnected factors across individual, social, and environmental domains. Interventions promoting healthy aging should integrate strategies to enhance capability, optimize opportunity, and strengthen motivation.
