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
Objectives: Incarceration affects various aspects of a prisoner's health, nutrition, and coping behaviours. This study aimed to explore and compare socio-demographic characteristics, dietary habits, and health-related experiences among male inmates in two Indian district prisons at Lucknow and Unnao. Material and method: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 60 male inmates (30 from each prison). Data were collected using a structured questionnaire covering dietary habits, body mass index, nutritional awareness, physical activity, and substance use. Descriptive statistics and comparative analysis were used to assess inter-prison differences. Results: Most participants were young adults with no significant difference in age or body mass index between the two groups. An urban background was more common in Lucknow, whereas a rural background was predominant in Unnao. Nutritional awareness was higher in Lucknow (53.3%) than in Unnao (33.3%). Overall access to fresh produce and dietary variety was limited. Only 13.3% had received any nutritional counselling. Meal satisfaction was significantly higher in Lucknow ( Discussion: Nutritional awareness, diet quality, and access to physical activity were influenced by institutional differences. Targeted interventions such as structured nutrition education and exercise programs are needed to improve the health and well-being of incarcerated populations.
