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: Understanding the prevalence of mental disorders and associated factors is essential for public health. This study examined the associations between sociodemographic characteristics, dietary patterns, and common mental disorders among adults in São Paulo, Brazil, during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 470 adults recruited online. Mental disorders were assessed using the SRQ-20 (cut-off ≥ 7), and dietary intake was evaluated with a Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ) that captured both frequency and portion sizes. Sociodemographic data were collected via a self-reported survey. Data analysis employed Results: A higher prevalence of mental disorders was observed among younger adults (18-30 years), single individuals, those with secondary education, and those receiving psychotherapeutic care (all Conclusion: This study reveals significant associations between sociodemographic factors, dietary patterns, and mental disorders during the pandemic. Individuals with disorders exhibited a distinct dietary profile characterized by lower vegetable intake but higher consumption of fruits and fats. The correlation findings highlight the need for cautious interpretation of statistically significant but clinically negligible associations.
