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
BACKGROUND AND
objectivesA low risk of gastrointestinal disorders in the adult population has long been linked to consuming a Mediterranean diet (MD). The study aims to evaluate the effects of the Mediterranean diet educational program on employee's knowledge regarding functional gastrointestinal disorders. MATERIALS AND
methodsA quasi-experimental study design of two study groups (pre-test and post-test) was carried out at four colleges in the University of Baghdad, Iraq of the period between January 10, 2022 and May 31, 2022. A purposive (non-probability) sample was used with a sample size of (160) employees divided into two groups (80 employees each). The study group of 80 employees was exposed to the Mediterranean Diet educational program while the control group with was not.
resultsThe results showed a positive effect of the Mediterranean diet educational program on the employees' functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs) knowledge in the study group. The study results indicated that there are highly significant mean differences between the study and control groups in the pre-test and the post-test in the specific and general knowledge area of employees' functional gastrointestinal disorders (t = 17.002, df = 158; t = 24.19, df = 158;
conclusionThe Mediterranean diet educational program effectively improves the employees' knowledge of functional gastrointestinal disorders. These results support the benefit of establishing educational programs for adult employees on the Mediterranean diet to improve individuals' knowledge about the gastrointestinal diseases.
