1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundCardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors are adopted during childhood and adolescence. Health literacy at these ages remains the cornerstone of a healthy adult life. The aim of the study was to examine the role of gender regarding CVD risk factors' awareness and to develop an evaluation tool for the assessment of CVD risk factors' knowledge and perception among children.

methodsDuring the school years 2014-2015 and 2015-2016, 1728 students aged 10-12 years (5th and 6th grade), from 5 Greek cities (including Athens metropolitan area), were enrolled; nearly 45% were boys (participation rate varied from 95% to 100% from school to school). Students and their parents completed an anonymous questionnaire; students' somatometric characteristics were also recorded. Schools were randomly selected. Linear regression models were applied to evaluate the impact of children's gender on knowledge and perceptions about CVD risk factors.

resultsSignificant higher percentage of correct answers, among girls compared to boys, was revealed regarding the weekly consumption of legumes, the breakfast weekly consumption, and the effects of soft drinks on health (all

conclusionHealth education programs should take into account gender differences in children's perception and attitudes toward CVD risk factors, in order to increase awareness of children and eventually reduce CVD risk during adulthood.
