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
backgroundNutrition is significantly related to the quality of life in the elderly. Functional capacity, which deals with the ability of the elderly to perform activities of daily living (ADLs) and instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs), is considered an important health indicator. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the nutritional status and functional capacity in the elderly population of Amirkola City. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis cross-sectional study was part of the second phase of the Amirkola Elderly Health Cohort (AHAP), which was conducted on 800 randomly selected over 60 years of age. Nutritional status was assessed using the Semi-Quantitative Food Frequency Questionnaire (SQFFQ), and functional capacity was evaluated using the Katz Index and Lawton Scale, including ADLs and IADLs. Data analysis was performed using SPSS software, and a
resultsThere were 437 (54.6%) males and 363 (45.4%) females among 800 elderly respondents. The mean nutritional and energy intake was greater in the able group than in the disabled group. According to multiple logistic regression analysis, the most significant factors affecting ADLs were age (OR = 4.93, 95% CI: 1.15-21.10,
conclusionsThis study found a positive correlation between nutritional status and functional capacity in the elderly population of Amirkola City. Therefore, planning for nutritional status improvement can be effective in improving the functional capacity and quality of life of the elderly.
