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
backgroundThe female athlete triad (Triad) refers to the interrelationship between energy availability, menstrual function, and bone health, which may have clinical and subclinical manifestations including eating disorders, functional hypothalamic amenorrhea, and osteoporosis. The aim of this study was to analyze the prevalence of physically active 15- to 45-year-old Spanish women at risk for the Triad.
methodsA descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out using the validated questionnaires 'Low Energy Availability in Females Questionnaire' (LEAF-Q) and the 'Female Athlete Screening Tool' (FAST). Exercising women were invited to participate anonymously and voluntarily by email via Spanish sports clubs and federations, as well as through social networks. The questionnaires were also distributed to elite athletes attending the High Performance Center of Sant Cugat del Vallès (Barcelona).
resultsThe study participants comprised 1154 physically active women (age = 28.5 ± 7.7 years; height = 165.2 ± 6.2 cm; body weight = 60.5 ± 9.7), representing 78 recreational and competitive level sports. The results showed that 40.0% (
conclusionBased on this research, the implementation of strategies for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of the Triad disorders should be made a priority among physically active Spanish women.
