Assessing the Nutrition Literacy of Parents and Its Relationship With Child Diet Quality.
Article in Journal of nutrition education and behavior. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 56 papers.
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
objectiveTo estimate the reliability and validity of the Nutrition Literacy Assessment Instrument for Parents (NLit-P) and to investigate relationships among parental nutrition literacy, parental and child body mass index, and child diet quality (Healthy Eating Index).
methodsCross-sectional study of 101 parent-child dyads that collected measures of socioeconomic status, nutrition literacy, 2 24-hour child diet recalls, and body mass index. Reliability of NLit-P was assessed by confirmatory factor analysis. Pearson correlation and multiple linear regression were used.
resultsFair to substantial reliability was seen across 5 NLit-P domains, whereas Pearson correlations support concurrent validity for the NLit-P related to child diet quality and parental income, age, and educational attainment (P < .001). For every 1% increase in NLit-P, there was a 0.51 increase in child Healthy Eating Index (multivariate coefficient, 0.174; P < .001). CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS: The NLit-P demonstrates potential for measuring parental nutrition literacy, which may be an important educational target for improving child diet quality.
