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

objectiveThis study aims to report the developmental processes and validation of Attitude Toward Nutrition Questionnaire in Arabic language.

resultsA total of 173 (response rate = 86.93%) participants responded to the survey. There were a total of 92 (53.2%) nutritionists and 81(46.8%) doctors/surgeons. Principal component analyses revealed followed by visualization of Cattell's scree plot, suggested a four-factor solution for the 36-item Attitude Toward Nutrition Counselling Questionnaire. It was found to have an acceptable validity. These four factors cumulatively explained 37.9% of the variance in the factor structure of the ATNQ. Cronbach's alpha revealed an acceptable level of reliability for each subscale of the ATNQ. The first subscale named "Factual knowledge about nutrition" comprised of nine items. It yielded a Cronbach's alpha value of 0.78. The second subscale "knowledge about nutrition in morbidities" comprised of seven items and yielded a Cronbach's alpha value of 0.71. The third subscale "counselling of patients" comprised of 11 items and yielded a Cronbach's alpha of 0.68. The fourth subscale comprising nine items yielded a Cronbach's alpha value of 0.64 and was named, "Dietary programs and supplementation".
