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

purposeObesity prevalence has reached an all-time high in the US, affecting >40% of the population. This study's objective was to evaluate associations between demographics and self-reported calorie knowledge and self-perceived confidence in calorie knowledge ("calorie confidence"). The relationships between body mass index (BMI) and calorie knowledge and confidence were also explored.

methodsWe analyzed data from participants (n = 2171) in the crosssectional, nationally representative 2019 FDA Food Safety and Nutrition Survey using logistic regression to estimate adjusted odds ratios (AORs) and confidence intervals (95% CIs) for associations between BMI and calorie knowledge (correct/incorrect), calorie confidence (confident/not confident), and demographic characteristics, and the Wald chi square test to evaluate relationships between BMI and both calorie knowledge and confidence.

resultsMany of the same subgroups were more likely than others to report lack of calorie knowledge and lack of confidence in knowing the typical daily calorie intake needed to maintain a healthy weight [respective AORs (95% CIs): age (years), >60 vs 51-60, 1.7 (1.1-2.5), and 1.4 (1.0-2.0); sex, male vs female, 1.7 (1.3-2.3), and 1.7 (1.3-2.1); race/ethnicity, non-Hispanic Black vs non-Hispanic white, 3.4 (2.1-5.5), and 2.4 (1.6-3.8); education, ≤high school vs college grad, 1.5 (1.0- 2.3), and 1.9 (1.3-2.7)]. BMI was significantly correlated with calorie confidence (

conclusionIn certain demographic subgroups associations between calorie knowledge and confidence differed. Tailored education and outreach for these groups may help to address these disparities.
