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
Background: Chronotype, social jetlag (SJL), eating jetlag (EJL), eating windows, and breakfast skipping are important and commonly used indicators for behavior rhythmicity. The present study comprehensively examined the behavior rhythmicity and depression, anxiety, and stress among university students. Methods: A cross-sectional study of a total of 734 college students was conducted. The questionnaire included investigation of sociodemographic characteristics and lifestyle information. Behavior rhythmicity was measured by the Munich Chronotype Questionnaire (MCTQ), the Reduced Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire (rMEQ), and the Chrononutrition Profile-Questionnaire (CP-Q). Depression, anxiety, and stress were measured by the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale-21 Items (DASS-21). Results: A total of 734 participants with completed data were included in this study. After adjustment of age, sex, exercise time, screen time, being the only child, and family's monthly per capita income, higher sleep-corrected SJL (SJLsc) was significantly associated with increased risks of depression (OR = 1.527 per 1-h increase; 95% CI: 1.129-2.066), anxiety (OR = 1.324 per 1-h increase; 95% CI: 1.029-1.703), and stress (OR = 1.524 per 1-h increase; 95% CI: 1.112-2.088). Compared with the non-evening type group, evening chronotype participants had a significantly higher risk of depression (OR = 1.856, 95% CI: 1.228-2.803), anxiety (OR = 1.598, 95% CI: 1.159-2.202), and stress (OR = 1.945, 95% CI: 1.261-2.999). Further stratified analysis by sex showed that the associations were sex-specific. SJL Conclusion: SJLsc and evening chronotype are significantly associated with higher risk of depression, anxiety, and stress. Sex-specific associations between last eating occasion jet lag, eating window jet lag, and chronotype with depression, anxiety, and stress existed in young adults.
