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: A healthy lifestyle is currently considered a pillar in the prevention/treatment of chronic non-communicable diseases in both adulthood and childhood. Notably, it is also a prominent tool for fostering wellbeing and managing stress, particularly at a young age when these two lifestyle components play a fundamental role in determining present and future health. Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the link between stress perception and lifestyle habits, particularly exercise and sleep in children/adolescents and their parents, using a simple anonymous questionnaire. Methods: Members of 50 families filled out a simple Results: In children/adolescents, stress perception negatively correlated with the volume of moderate-vigorous exercise and time dedicated to sleep. The latter also correlated positively with the perception of health and academic performance and negatively with perception of fatigue, somatic symptoms, and systolic arterial pressure percentiles. When considering data from all the family members, we also observed interesting significant correlations between parents' exercise habits, parents' perceptions of health, and parents' perceptions of somatic symptoms and the perception of stress reported by their children, respectively. Conclusion: In this observational study, exercise and good sleep hygiene represent important tools to counteract stress perception in youth, fostering present and future wellbeing and health. The collection of lifestyle data using a simple questionnaire with simple clinical parameters may offer an opportunity to construct an immediate picture of family members' lifestyles, which may motivate parents and institutions to focus on improvement of lifestyle components (in particular, exercise and good sleep) instead of only focusing on traditional risk factors (such as dyslipidaemia, obesity, hypertension, and smoking) to foster present wellbeing in children/adolescents and prevent chronic non-communicable diseases.
