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
purposeThis study was conducted to provide basic data for nutritional strategies to enhance athletic performance in athletes with disabilities by analyzing their nutritional intake, sport-specific comparisons, and awareness of nutrition.
methodsA total of 26 athletes (17 males, 9 females; average age = 40.67 years) participated in the study. All foods consumed over three days were recorded using the CANPRO program (version 6.0). Demographic characteristics, nutritional awareness, and perceived importance of nutrition were assessed through a Google Form questionnaire. Data were analyzed with SPSS (version 23.0) to compute means and standard deviations, with statistical significance set at p < .05. Participants included athletes from the following sports: badminton (n = 6), shooting (n = 1), swimming (n = 2), powerlifting (n = 6), judo (n = 1), athletics (n = 1), table tennis (n = 7), and wheelchair rugby (n = 2).
resultsThe average daily energy intake was 2,096.03 kcal for male athletes and 1,680.57 kcal for female athletes, with no significant sex-based differences in caloric or nutrient intake. Among sports, wheelchair rugby players (n = 2) showed the highest average intake (2,524.49 kcal), followed by powerlifters (n = 6) at 2,323.9 kcal, and badminton players (n = 6) at 1,926.09 kcal, indicating that strength- or power-focused sports require higher energy consumption. All participants agreed that nutrition is closely linked to athletic performance, and about 73% believed it directly affects performance. Additionally, 88% recognized the need for professional nutritional education.
conclusionThe results of the study can serve as foundational data to establish future nutritional strategies for athletes with disabilities.
