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 purpose of this study is to investigate the influencing factors for fitness enthusiasts' willingness to purchase insect protein foods as fitness protein replacements. Using structural equation modeling, a model was developed to understand the factors influencing the purchase intention of insect alternative foods. We conducted an online survey of 968 fitness enthusiasts in China. In accordance with the data processing results, perceived value appears to be one of the most significant factors that contribute to consumers' purchase intention, attitude, and satisfaction with their purchase decisions. Furthermore, satisfaction has the potential to improve user attitudes and increase user purchase intentions. As a whole, this study extends research on insect protein alternatives as a potential alternative product for bodybuilding supplements. Moreover, make some recommendations to producers, designers, and promoters.
