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
backgroundThis study was conducted to identify the impacts of the healthy plate model workshop on 4th-graders nutrition knowledge, behaviors, and habits.
methodsThe study was conducted from March to June 2023 in the Uskudar district of Istanbul, involving 102 children (50% girls) with a mean age of 10.2 ± 0.45 years. A pretest-intervention-posttest design was used for the research. Before and after the training, a questionnaire was administered to measure students' demographic characteristics, physical activity status, adherence to the Mediterranean Diet, frequencies of food group consumption, and nutritional knowledge.
resultsThe number of students consuming eggs, legumes, vegetables, fruits, and oilseeds daily increased after the training (p > 0.05). Increases were observed in daily consumption of meat group and water (p < 0.05). While the proportion of students who consumed whole fruit with skin was 35.3% before the training, this rate increased to 47.1% after the training (p < 0.05). The mean nutritional knowledge score (before: 71.37 ± 11.8; after: 80.45 ± 1.6, p < 0.05) and the Mediterranean Diet Quality Index (KIDMED) score (before: 4.77 ± 2.41; after: 5.50 ± 2.45, p < 0.05) increased significantly after the training. A weak positive correlation was identified between pre-training nutritional knowledge scores and KIDMED index scores (r = 0.19; p = 0.045). Furthermore, a negative weak relationship was observed between post-training nutritional knowledge scores and meal-skipping status (r=-0.231; p = 0.019).
conclusionsStructured nutrition education for school-age children can positively impact their nutritional knowledge and dietary habits.
