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
Introduction: Young adulthood is a critical period for the establishment of lifelong health behaviours. However, increasing sedentary lifestyles, suboptimal dietary patterns, and weight-related body image concerns contribute to the growing burden of obesity in this age group. A comprehensive and culturally sensitive assessment tool is needed to capture these multidimensional factors. This study aimed to develop and psychometrically validate a questionnaire assessing lifestyle behaviours, weight-related body image concerns, and past weight management strategies among young adults (YAs). Methods: A mixed-method design was employed. Item generation was informed by literature review and focus group discussions, followed by expert review for content validity and pilot testing for face validity. Construct validity was assessed using exploratory factor analysis (EFA; Results: The final questionnaire comprised 30 items across three domains: lifestyle and associated barriers (17 items), weight-related body image concerns (6 items), and past weight management (7 items). Factor analyses supported a three-domain structure with satisfactory model fit indices. Internal consistency ranged from 0.72 to 0.86 across domains. Test-retest reliability demonstrated high stability (ICC range: 0.951-0.970). Conclusion: The developed questionnaire demonstrates satisfactory psychometric properties and may serve as a practical tool for assessing obesity-related behavioural and psychosocial factors among young adults in clinical and research settings.
