1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Numerous efforts have been directed toward promoting nutrition in Arab countries. Implementing national nutrition plans and strategies is essential for addressing a country's nutritional situation synergistically and cost-effectively. Many Arabic-speaking countries have developed national nutrition plans and/or strategies. Thus, an Arabic national nutrition plans assessment tool is necessary to revise current plans and improve the quality of future plans in the region. This study aimed to translate and evaluate the validity and reliability of the Arabic-translated National Nutrition Plans checklist. After translating the checklist into Arabic, the Delphi technique was used to evaluate face validity using the Face Validity Index (FVI). Test-retest reliability was evaluated by calculating the intraclass correlation coefficient and inter-rater reliability using Fleiss' Kappa. This resulted in acceptable face validity (FVI values > 0.83). The test-retest reliability was excellent (ICC = 0.98, SEM = 1.96, MDC = 5.43), and the inter-rater reliability achieved substantial agreement between the raters (Fleiss' kappa [95% CI] = 0.61 [0.59-0.63]). This demonstrates that the Arabic-translated National Nutrition Plans checklist is valid and reliable. The Arabic-translated National Nutrition Plans checklist lays the foundation for the systematic assessment and development of national nutrition plans and strategies in Arab countries.
