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: Obesity among military personnel has become a serious issue. This study aimed to verify the effectiveness of an obesity management program based on an information-motivation-behaviour skills model using a mobile application and social media among military personnel with obesity in the Republic of Korea. Methods: A one-group pretest-posttest design was employed to investigate the effects of the program. Thirty individuals participated in an obesity management program for 12 weeks. Body mass index, body fat percentage, and waist circumference were measured, and dietary practices, physical activity, perceived health status, and depressive symptoms were assessed using self-report questionnaires. Analysis was performed using a generalized estimating equation. Results: Dietary practices (β = 0.674, Discussion: The program effectively improved target health behaviours and outcomes in obesity management and, therefore, could be used as a practical obesity management strategy for military personnel with obesity, regardless of time and location restrictions.
