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 and Aims: Overweight/obesity is increasing at an alarming rate throughout the world and has now become a global epidemic. According to a recent research report, the burden of obesity is increasing in developing countries; however, no significant reduction has been seen in developed countries over the past few decades. Furthermore, there is limited information about overweight/obesity. The main objective of this study was to assess the prevalence and associated factors of overweight/obesity among reproductive age women. Methods: A total of 866 reproductive women participated in the study. The collected data were coded and entered into Epi-Data version 4.6.0 and exported to STATA version 17 software packages for analysis. Binary logistic regression was used to identify factors associated with overweight/obesity among reproductive age women. Variables with a Result: The study's response rate was 96% and the overall prevalence of overweight/obesity was 21% [95% CI: 18.00, 24.00]. Being parity [AOR = 3.75, 95% CI: 2.06, 6.81], parity (≥ 2) [AOR = 8.16, 95% CI: 4.63, 14.37], late age at menarche (≥ 14 years) [AOR = 1.65, 95% CI: 1.13, 2.41], and ever used family planning [AOR = 1.50, 95% CI: 1.01, 2.23] were factors significantly associated overweight/obesity. Conclusion: In this study, overweight/obesity was high. Late age of menarche, parity, and ever using family planning were factors affecting overweight/obesity in reproductive age women. Healthcare workers should raise awareness among reproductive-age women about the impacts of overweight/obesity.
