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
objectiveThis study aimed to examine the association between body weight dissatisfaction and self-reported experiences of discrimination among Brazilian adolescents, stratified by sex.
methodsData were obtained from the "Brazilian Guide for the Assessment of Physical Fitness and Lifestyle Habits-Stage II", conducted in 2019 with a city-representative sample of school adolescents aged 14-17 years from São José, Santa Catarina, Brazil. Body weight dissatisfaction and experiences of discrimination were measured using standardized instruments and through self-report. Weighted prevalence estimates and sex-stratified logistic regression models were used to evaluate associations, adjusting for sociodemographic variables.
resultsIn the adjusted analysis, adolescents of both sexes who reported discrimination had higher odds of wanting to increase their body weight (odds ratio - OR 2.05; 95% confidence interval - 95%CI 1.41-2.98) and to decrease their body weight (OR 1.42; 95%CI 1.09-1.85). Stratified analyses revealed different patterns by sex: among male adolescents, discrimination was associated with higher odds of wanting to decrease body weight (OR 1.66; 95%CI 1.58-1.74), whereas among female adolescents, discrimination was associated with higher odds of wanting to increase body weight (OR 3.02; 95%CI 1.72-5.31).
conclusionsDissatisfaction with body weight and experiences of discrimination are prevalent among Brazilian adolescents, with distinct patterns between boys and girls. Discrimination was associated with both the desire to gain and to lose weight, but in sex-specific directions, suggesting that social pressures shape body image differently for male and female adolescents.
