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: Health-promoting behaviors are crucial for maintaining well-being, especially among university students who face various lifestyle challenges. Aim: This study aimed to evaluate Taibah University students' Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profiles in Saudi Arabia, focusing on the influence of age, gender, and body mass index (BMI) on health-related behaviors. Methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted in Saudi Arabia. A total of 397 valid questionnaires were analyzed. A systematic random sampling method was employed, selecting every 20th student from predetermined lists to ensure a balanced representation, with 100 students from each college. Data were collected using a demographic questionnaire and the validated Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile II (HPLP-II). Results: Most participants had a normal BMI (18.5-24.9 kg/m²), with 71.4% of males and 63.3% of females classified as normal weight. Underweight status was more prevalent among females (23.4%) than males (13.4%) (χ² = 7.973, Conclusion: Females demonstrated higher health responsibility and engagement in health-promoting activities than males, with younger females being more physically active. Body mass index significantly influences spiritual growth and overall health behaviors, highlighting the importance of considering demographic and anthropometric factors in health promotion strategies among university students.
