Implementation of Nutrition Labels at the 2022 European Athletics Championships: An Observational Study of the Use and Perceptions of Athletes and Athlete Support Personnel.
Observational study in Nutrients, 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.
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/
objectivesNutrition labels are an effective tool for providing nutrition information. Additionally, nutrient composition is one of the most dictating factors for athletes' food choices; thus, we aimed to evaluate the use and perceptions regarding the nutrition labels implemented for the meals served at the 2022 European Athletics Championships (EAC).
methodsDuring mealtime at the team restaurants, participants completed an online self-administered questionnaire. We collected 280 questionnaires, 53.8% of the participants were male, most were athletes (78.9%), and 21.1% were athlete support personnel. Likert-type scales and open-ended questions were included to measure the labels' importance, layout, influence on food choices, and participants' understanding of the labels. Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis tests were used to compare answers.
resultsAlmost 40% of the participants used the nutrition labels occasionally (38.8%). Most participants were confident (41.9%) or moderately confident (31.3%) in making food choices because they had labels. Nutrition labels were considered important (41.0%) or very important (28.4%) by most participants, and 91.7% would like to have them in future championships. Athlete support personnel versus athletes (
conclusionsOur results highlight that nutrition labels were helpful for both athletes and athlete support personnel during this EAC and that they should be maintained in future competitions.
