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
This study aimed to investigate the effects of 12 weeks of plyometric training on body composition, physical fitness, and bone mineral density (BMD) in obese male adolescents. Twenty obese male adolescents were randomly assigned to a control group (n=10) or a plyometric exercise group (n=10). The plyometric exercise group performed the exercise 3 times a week for 12 weeks. Body composition, physical fitness, and BMD were measured before and after the 12-week intervention. Following results were obtained. In the plyometric exercise group, body fat mass significantly decreased before and after the intervention, but differences in body weight, body mass index, and lean body mass were not significant. Among physical fitness factors, grip strength, muscular endurance, and the 20-m shuttle run significantly improved, but flexibility did not show a significant difference. In the plyometric exercise group, BMD significantly improved before and after the intervention. These results indicate that 12 weeks of plyometric training may be effective in improving body composition, physical fitness, and bone density in obese adolescents.
