Student Perception of Healthfulness, School Lunch Healthfulness, and Participation in School Lunch: The Healthy Communities Study.
Observational study in Journal of nutrition education and behavior, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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 increase understanding about the healthfulness of school lunch and participation, this study measured 3 school lunch variables, students' perception of healthfulness, objective healthfulness, and participation, and examined associations between each pair of variables (3 associations).
methodsMultilevel models were used for a secondary analysis of data from the Healthy Communities Study, a 2013-2015 observational study of schools (n = 423) and children (n = 5,106) from 130 US communities.
resultsStudents who reported that school lunches were sometimes, often, or very often healthy ate school lunches more frequently per week (β = .71; P < .001) than did students who responded never or rarely. No associations were found with objective school lunch healthfulness. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS: Student perception of healthfulness of school lunch is positively associated with participation but not with objective school lunch healthfulness. Understanding how student perception is associated with participation can inform effective communications to students to increase participation in the school lunch program.
