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
Adults with intellectual disabilities (ID) often exhibit higher adiposity , increasing their risk of cardiometabolic conditions. Therefore, simple and non-invasive methods for estimating body fat in this population are needed. This study aimed to examine the associations between body fat percentage (BF%) estimated by the Clínic Universidad de Navarra-Body Adiposity Estimator (CUN-BAE) equation and cardiometabolic risk indicators in adults with ID. This cross-sectional study included 133 adults with ID (mean age 23.0 ± 6.7 years; 69.9% were men) from five special education centers in Santiago, Chile. BF% was estimated using the CUN-BAE equation. Cardiometabolic indicators included body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), neck circumference (NC), waist-to-height ratio (WtHR), and submandibular skinfold (SS thickness). Mean BF% was 15.6% in men and 27.7% in women, respectively. Significant positive associations were observed between BF% and BMI (men: β = 0.77, R² = 0.77; women: β = 0.54, R² = 0.52), WC (men: β = 0.29, R² = 0.56; women: β = 0.21, R² = 0.31), NC (men: β = 0.95, R² = 0.43; women: β = 0.57, R² = 0.17), WtHR (men: β = 53.02, R² = 0.62; women: β = 27.54, R² = 0.26), and SS (men: β = 0.99, R² = 0.45; women: β = 1.15, R² = 0.49). Overall, BF% estimated by the CUN-BAE equation demonstrated consistent relationships with multiple cardiometabolic indicators in both sexes. These findings suggest that the CUN-BAE equation is a practical tool for estimating body fat in adults with ID; however, further validation against direct measures of body composition is warranted.
