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: Stunting is a public health problem influenced by biological, behavioral, family, social, environmental, and health system factors throughout the life cycle. Factors such as poor reproductive health, anemia in adolescents, low health literacy, early marriage, socioeconomic conditions, and limited access to health services increase the risk of intergenerational stunting. However, adolescent-focused stunting prevention approaches as pre-pregnancy strategies are still limited. This study aims to identify core elements for developing a stunting prevention model to improve adolescents' quality of life. Methods: This is a descriptive qualitative study with an exploratory approach. The study was conducted through focus group discussions and in-depth interviews with 27 purposively selected informants, including adolescents, parents, school principals, community members, health workers, community health center heads, and policymakers. Data collection was conducted until data saturation was reached, and the data were analyzed using Braun and Clarke's thematic analysis. Results: The analysis yielded 73 codes, 28 categories, and eight main themes: adolescent factors, family factors, social support, institutional commitment, governance, quality of health services, access to health services, and the environment. Taken together, these themes represent the key interrelated components of an adolescent-centered approach to stunting prevention, with potential pathways to improving adolescent quality of life. Conclusion: Combining these eight core elements can offer a comprehensive, cross-sectoral, and life-cycle approach to supporting adolescent well-being and addressing the intergenerational risk of stunting.
