Dietary interventions using Facebook: a systematic review.
Review in Porto biomedical journal. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Introduction: Facebook has been used to change food behaviors. The aim of this review was to synthesize the knowledge about the effect of nutritional interventions delivered through Facebook in dietary intake, food and nutritional knowledge and behavior, and weight management. Methods: PubMed, Web of Science, Ovid, Scopus, and Cochrane electronic databases were searched for intervention studies that were published from 2013 to 2019. This systematic review protocol was formulated based on Results: Of the 4824 identified studies, 116 were considered for eligibility and 18 met the inclusion criteria of this review. Of these, 13 were randomized controlled trials, 2 were quasiexperimental studies, 2 were case studies, and 1 was a nonrandomized controlled trial. Interventions had a positive nutritional-related impact in most of the studies (78%). Discussion: Positive changes in dietary intake, food and nutritional knowledge and behavior, and weight management were observed in studies that used Facebook as a component of intervention. Facebook effectiveness by its own was difficult to evaluate considering that is frequently a component of intervention. The heterogeneity of the outcome variables between studies did not allow concluding about the effectiveness of this tool.
