Article in Preventive medicine reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.

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: There is confusion among members of the general public regarding the role of dietitians in healthcare. Little is known about public attitudes towards dietitians among the general public in Israel. Objectives: The present study aims to identify beliefs and attitudes about dietitians in clinical practice held by a representative sample of Israeli adults. Methods: The present cross-sectional survey was conducted online. Results: A total of 402 Israeli adults participated. The majority of respondents indicated that dietitians perform nutrition consultations and weight loss counselling. More than half of respondents knew that dietitians have at least a bachelor's degree, but more than one third thought the degree was in alternative medicine. The majority of respondents ranked dietitians as the healthcare professionals with the greatest knowledge of human nutrition. Approximately have of respondents had been previously treated by a dietitian, and these people were more likely indicate the importance of nutrition care in treating chronic disease; further, they stated that dietitians utilize biochemical, anthropometric and other data in order to personalize nutrition care. In logistic regression analyses of specific dietitian roles, prior treatment by a dietitian emerged as a robust predictor of the role of the dietitian in healthcare. Discussion: Respondents identified dietitians as the professionals with the most knowledge of nutrition and the clinicians with whom they would most likely consult if they desired to change their eating habits.
