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: The 11-item short form of the Weight-Related Behaviours Questionnaire (WRB-Q-SF), is a psychosocial assessment instrument for the identification of women susceptible to excessive gestational weight gain. The present study proposes to examine the psychometric properties of an Arabic-language version of the WRB-Q-SF in a sample of Arabic-speaking pregnant women. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted between October and December 2023, with six hundred eighty Lebanese pregnant women filling the survey. Data collected consisted of self-reported responses to standardized questionnaires. The data analysis model included confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) to test the factor structure, along with reliability analysis and correlations with external constructs to establish concurrent validity. Results: Our study demonstrated good internal reliability values: self-efficacy (ω =0.83; α = 82), attitudes towards weight gain (ω =0.90; α = 90), and body image (α =0.76 and.59 respectively). Higher financial burden was suggested to be associated with higher self-efficacy and higher body image scores; lower emotional eating was correlated with higher attitudes towards weight gain and higher body image scores; whereas, increased social support and higher orthorexia were associated with higher attitudes towards weight gain. Here, we go into further depth about these results. Conclusion: Overall, these results suggest that the Arabic WRB-Q-SF is a psychometrically valid tool for the assessment of excessive gestational weight gain. The availability of the Arabic translation and the eventual integration into actual maternity care practice may help pregnant women healthily gain weight.
