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
Food insecurity, a significant global challenge, is increasingly recognized among university students, potentially impacting their quality of life (QoL). This study aimed to assess the prevalence of food insecurity and its association with QoL among university students in Denizli, Türkiye. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 1495 university students. Food insecurity was assessed using the Household Food Insecurity Access Scale (HFIAS), categorized as food secure, mild, moderate, or severe insecurity. Quality of life was measured with the SF-12, yielding Physical Component Summary (PCS) and Mental Component Summary (MCS) scores. Multiple linear regression analyses were performed to identify predictors of physical (PCS) and mental (MCS) components of quality of life. The prevalence of food insecurity was 44.9%, with 20.9% experiencing mild, 16.0% moderate, and 8.0% severe food insecurity. Food-insecure students had significantly lower PCS (50.16 ± 8.05 vs. 52.50 ± 6.89,
