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: Psoriasis is widely recognized as a systemic inflammatory condition associated with numerous comorbidities. Among these, eating disorders (ED) and ED-related behavior, defined as restrictive or dysfunctional attitudes toward food, have been increasingly reported in patients with psoriasis. Aim of our study was to evaluate the prevalence of ED-related symptoms in psoriasis patients with excess body weight and to explore their association with body mass index (BMI) across the overweight and obese ranges. Methods: A multicenter, cross-sectional study was conducted on adult patients with psoriasis and BMI ≥25 kg/m Results: A total of 104 patients were included. Overall, 13 patients (12.5%) tested positive in at least one questionnaire. No statistically significant differences in the proportion of screening-positive patients were observed across the BMI categories or between the overweight and obese groups. Similarly, the mean BES and EAT-26 scores did not differ significantly between groups. Logistic regression analysis confirmed that BMI was not a significant predictor of ED-related screening positivity (OR = 0.942, 95% CI: 0.813-1.091). Spearman's analysis showed no significant correlation between BMI and BES scores ( Conclusion: Approximately one in eight psoriasis patients with excess body weight screened positive for ED-related symptoms. BMI category was not a predictor of ED-screening positivity. The weak negative correlation between BMI and restrictive eating attitudes indicates that dysfunctional eating behaviors may be more pronounced in patients with milder excess weight.
