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
Background and aim: In Sulaimani, Iraq, university students often engage in lifestyle behaviors that may influence their dietary habits, nutritional health, and overall well-being. This study aimed to assess the lifestyle characteristics, dietary patterns, and associated predictors among students at the University of Human Development. Method: This cross-sectional study was conducted from February 11th to February 20th, 2025, across eight academic departments at the University of Human Development, using Convenience sampling technique. The questionnaire included demographic information, lifestyle indicators, sleep and activity patterns, medical history, and a detailed food frequency section. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS version 26 (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY). Chi-square tests, ANOVA, and binary logistic regression were conducted to assess associations between dietary patterns and demographic, behavioral, and health-related variables. Results: A total of 330 university students participated in the study. Fruit and vegetable consumption was suboptimal, while refined carbohydrate intake was high (white rice: 46.36% daily; white bread: 36.06% daily). Students who always slept after midnight had higher odds of following a non-routine dietary pattern (OR = 2.44; 95% CI: 1.01-5.89; Conclusions: This cross-sectional study found that university students in Sulaimani exhibited suboptimal dietary patterns associated with poor sleep hygiene, low physical activity, excessive screen time, and a family history of obesity. Future longitudinal and intervention-based studies are needed to establish causal relationships and evaluate the effectiveness of campus-based health promotion programs.
