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.

Abstract
Background: Hypertension and cardiovascular disease burden are rising rapidly in Nigeria. This trend is partly attributed to a transition from healthy to unhealthy dietary patterns. However, health care professionals lack a dietary screening tool to assess patient dietary intake and offer personalized dietary advice. Objectives: We aimed to develop and validate a food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) that can quickly and accurately assess regional dietary intake for use by health care professionals in a hospital setting in Port Harcourt, Nigeria. Methods: We recruited 58 patients from a single hospital in Nigeria. The FFQ was administered at baseline and again after 3 wk. To evaluate the validity of the FFQ, we used 3 repeated and nonconsecutive 24-h dietary recalls (24DR) as a reference method. Spearman rank correlations, Wilcoxon signed-rank tests, cross-classification, intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs), and Bland-Altman analysis were performed in R software version 4.3.1 to assess the relative validity and reproducibility. Results: The mean correlation coefficient ( Conclusions: Our results support the use of the FFQ as a valid and reliable tool for ranking intakes of certain food groups among patients in a hospital setting in Nigeria.The trial was registered at clinicaltrials.gov as NCT05973760.
