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
introductionLifestyle is characterized by identifiable behavioral patterns that can affect individuals' health, and is considered one of the predominant factors for maintaining both quality of life and people's health. This triad (lifestyle, quality of life and health) is closely associated with well-being.
objectiveThe aim of this study is to evaluate the relationship between lifestyles, well-being, and self-esteem in students who have completed secondary education and are in the process of transitioning to higher education.
methodsData were collected using a questionnaire of sociodemographic (e.g., age, gender) and physical (e.g., BMI) variables, a Self-Esteem Scale, a Well-Being scale, and the FANTASTICO Lifestyle questionnaire. Statistical analysis was performed using canonical correlation analysis and a Structural Equation Model.
resultsThe sample consisted of 235 students, with a mean age of 18.4 years. Canonical correlation analysis revealed that lifestyle explains 58.5% of the variance in mental health. The first (most important) canonical function (r = 0.86;
conclusionsThis study shows that the transition to higher education is a pivotal period where lifestyle patterns significantly shape students' psychological adjustment. The findings confirm that a healthy lifestyle, specifically centered on stress management, sleep, and social support, serves as a robust predictor of both self-esteem and psychological well-being. By identifying self-esteem as a key partial mediator, the results suggest that healthy habits do more than just improve physical health.
