Article in Journal of family medicine and primary care, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.

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: Proper nutrition is vital for health and development. A lack of proper nutrition can lead to malnutrition, which is serious public health issue that can have lifelong consequences. Disabled children may have feeding difficulties, which can impact their nutrient intake. This study aims to assess the nutritional status of adolescents with disabilities using anthropometric measurements. Methodology: This research employed a school-based cross-sectional descriptive study design and focused on adolescents with disabilities attending special schools in Dehradun district. Nutritional status was evaluated through anthropometric measurements, including height, weight, and skinfold thickness. Results: A total of 142 study participants were included, with a mean age of 14.32 (±0.20) years. Notably, 93% of the study subjects had disabilities since birth, indicating congenital malformation. The majority of the participants, accounting for 52.1%, were classified as having a normal BMI, while 18.3% were categorized as overweight or obese. Conclusion: We found that the mental disability (38%) was the most common disability among adolescents. A relatively higher prevalence of underweight was seen in adolescent with hearing disability (47.8%).
