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
Introduction: Military recruitment and retention efforts are significantly challenging due to a limited pool of qualified candidates and increasing competition from private industries. Before attending Navy basic training, all non-prior service enlistees enter the Navy's Delayed Entry Program (DEP), which is designed to help recruiters prepare Future Sailors (FS) for military life. Mobile health (mHealth) applications (apps), such as CoachMePlus (CM+), may assist recruiters in enhancing FS readiness. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness, usability, and impact of an mHealth app on FS readiness. Methods: A total of 92 FS (13 females, 79 males; ages = 18-28 years) were enrolled in a training program delivered via the mHealth app CM+. The program consisted of three modules: general military training (GMT), nutrition, and physical training. At baseline, FS completed a survey that included demographics and health history. Body weight and body fat percentage were measured and tracked monthly by recruiters. FS also completed weekly check-ins on the app and logged dietary intakes for 3 days each month, which were reviewed by a registered dietitian nutritionist. Results: FS logged into the app an average of 2.1 ± 0.2 times per day, and 92.4% ( Conclusion: CM+ proved to be an effective tool for monitoring real-time achievements during DEP training, improving military-related outcomes and nutrition understanding.
