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

The nutrition education landscape is changing due to advances in technology. Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) are an example of new education opportunities, made possible by advances in online learning environments. This research aimed to evaluate a nutrition-focused MOOC, applying Kirkpatrick's theoretical model of learning, to comprehensively describe learners' reactions, knowledge and behaviours. A mixed-methods approach explored learners' experiences of participating in a global nutrition MOOC. Quantitative survey data, using descriptive statistics, measured pre-course nutrition knowledge, post-course satisfaction and learning, and changes to fruit/vegetable intake. Qualitative data from discussion forums and semi-structured interviews were thematically analysed and explored participant experiences and perceived impacts on dietary behaviours and nutrition knowledge. All results were mapped to Kirkpatrick's model. Surveys measuring perceived knowledge, satisfaction, and fruit and vegetable intake were completed by 4941, 1003 and 1090 participants, respectively. Overall reactions to the course were positive. Perceived vegetable intake increased for 62% of participants. Twelve interviews and six hundred and forty-seven forum comments were analysed, identifying eight themes highlighting changes to knowledge and dietary behaviours, and the importance of peer-to-peer learning. All results mapped to Levels 1-3 of Kirkpatrick's model. MOOCs can be an effective platform to communicate evidence-based nutrition information to large, global audiences.
