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

purposeThis study aims to examine the frequency and content of healthcare providers' nutrition recommendations and referrals Registered Dietitian Nutritionists (RDN).

methodsPhysicians, physician assistants, nurses, and other providers (> 18 years of age) currently practicing primarily in the United States received an email survey that assessed dietary recommendations for diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, overweight/obesity, and general wellbeing, frequency and comfort level of providing nutrition advice, and RDN referrals. Chi-square and Student's t-tests were used for analysis.

results154 physicians (61%), registered nurses/nurse practitioners/physician assistants (19.5%), and other providers (19.5%) were included. Those with nutrition education gave nutrition advice more than those without for some, but not all, conditions (

conclusionHealthcare providers gave nutrition recommendations consistent with evidence-based guidance. RDN referrals occur in conjunction with dietary recommendations, not as replacement.
