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 assess the prevalence and correlates of body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) and to explore its association with social media usage among high school students in Abha city, Aseer region, Saudi Arabia. A cross-sectional study was conducted in the selected public high schools in Aseer region, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, from March 12, 2023 to March 17, 2023. A total of 346 (36%) students were worried about how their look. The most areas of concern included their nose shape and size (26.7%), having acne (19.1%), abdomen shape (18.6%), and their weight (18.2%). Female students showed 3.5 times more likelihood for perceived BDD than males (OR = 3.52; 95% CI: 2.13-5.83), while non-Saudi showed 74% more likelihood for perceived BDD than Saudi students (OR = 1.74; 95% CI: 1.02-2.99). BDD is common in Saudi Arabia. Certain demographics were associated with BDD in our study such as female gender and non-Saudi Arabian nationality. The results emphasize the need for safe social networking, particularly among teenagers, and for public education about the dangers of borderline personality disorder and its effects.
