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: Eating behavior critically impacts human health and the development of obesity. This study aimed to validate the Adult Eating Behavior Questionnaire (AEBQ) among Chinese university students and explore the relationship between appetitive traits and body mass index (BMI). Methods: A total of 546 students from Southeast University completed the Chinese version of the AEBQ and self-reported anthropometric data. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was used to test the factor structure and evaluate model fit, and Spearman's correlation assessed relationships between appetitive traits and BMI. Results: The original 8-factor, 35-item model showed a good fit, which improved further after removing the Hunger subscale. All subscales demonstrated strong reliability ( Conclusion: The AEBQ is a reliable and valid psychological measurement for assessing appetitive traits in Chinese adults and conducting large-scale studies. Interventions targeting appetite traits provide new insights into weight management and obesity prevention.
