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
aimThis study was conducted to examine the association between PA levels and attitudes toward eating disorders in students at Sirjan University of Medical Sciences during 2022.
methodsEmploying a descriptive correlational design, this study involved 212 students from Sirjan University of Medical Sciences located in southeastern Iran. Participants were selected using quota sampling. Data collection instruments included demographic questionnaires, the International Physical Activity Questionnaire, and the Eating Attitude Test-26 (EAT-26).
resultsData analysis utilized both parametric and non-parametric methods through Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS), version 20, with statistical significance set at p < .05. The average age of participants was 22.37 ± 7.4 years. Findings indicated eating attitudes showed a statistically significant but weak association with PA (p = .04, r = .13). Linear regression revealed that a one-point rise in eating attitude scores corresponded to a 0.14 increase in PA scores. Among factors significantly predicting attitudes toward eating disorders were academic year (p = .001) and frequency of fast-food consumption per week (p = .02). Gender was identified as a significant predictor for PA levels (p = .00).
conclusionsThe study results suggest that attitudes related to eating behaviors can predict PA levels among Gen Z university students. Recognizing these predictors may help healthcare professionals develop targeted strategies that promote PA and foster healthier eating attitudes within this demographic, ultimately enhancing their overall well-being and academic success.
