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 Dietary practices play a crucial role in the overall development of school-going children, potentially influencing their academic performance. Nutrition is a fundamental component of children's overall health and development, influencing both physical growth and cognitive functions. School-going children are particularly vulnerable to the effects of their diet, as it impacts their ability to concentrate, learn, and perform academically. Methodology A cross-sectional study was conducted with 262 schoolchildren aged 11-16 years from various schools in Kattankulathur Block, Chengalpattu District. Dietary practices were assessed using a pretested questionnaire, while academic performance was evaluated based on school records. Data analysis included a t-test, as well as correlation and regression analyses, to examine the relationships between the dependent and independent variables. The data were analyzed using IBM SPSS (IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, IBM Corp., Version 26, Armonk, NY). Results The study found a significant correlation between balanced dietary practices, including regular intake of fruits and vegetables, and higher academic achievement. Studies show that 88.2% of children have three regular meals daily, 88.9% have breakfast consistently, and 24.8% of children have excellent school performance. Children with poor dietary habits exhibited lower academic performance compared to those with healthier diets. Conclusion Nutritional practices significantly impact academic performance among school children. Improving dietary habits can enhance cognitive functions and academic outcomes, emphasizing the need for better nutritional education and interventions in schools.
