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
backgroundMen are underserved in research on eating, exercise and body image psychopathology (EEBIP), and remain underrepresented within healthcare settings despite growing clinical need. One barrier to men's help-seeking for EEBIP-related concerns is that public-facing healthcare information/resources often appear unwelcoming to them, suggesting the need for more inclusive, gender-sensitive resources that engage men and address their specific needs. This study aimed to explore men's perspectives on the design of inclusive EEBIP resources, to inform the iterative co-design of guidance for future resource development.
methodsThis study employed a lived experience-led approach, integrating a modified nominal group technique with participatory research methods, as part of an iterative co-design of a guidance document. Six men with lived experience of EEBIP ranked their preferred features of male-inclusive resources from a broader list of content and format ideas generated through a survey of 42 men. Interview and focus group discussions followed, exploring the underlying reasons why the men with EEBIP experience believed these content and format ideas would support men's help-seeking for EEBIP. Finally, a draft guidance document, underpinned by the results of the discussions, was designed and iteratively edited, following feedback from healthcare organisation representatives, academics, and men with lived experience.
resultsThematic analysis of the discussions identified five themes to inform the development of future resources. The five themes are titled: (1) Designing accessible resources that navigate men's readiness; (2) Authentic voices: inclusive, conversation-led outreach; (3) Self-realisation: refraining from labelling men as 'unhealthy' or 'disordered'; (4) Purpose and progress driven resources; (5) Images: the line between helpful and harmful isn't always clear. These themes are discussed alongside EEBIP and men's mental health help-seeking literature.
conclusionsThis is the first study to centre men's experiential knowledge to explore how healthcare organisations can facilitate men's help-seeking for EEBIP-related concerns via public-facing resources. The themes generated in this study reflect findings of studies exploring the facilitation of men's general mental health help-seeking, whilst contributing novel EEBIP-specific findings. The results of this study can support EEBIP healthcare organisations to develop public-facing resources that are more inclusive of men.
