Assessing the nutrition knowledge, beliefs, and behaviors of food pantry managers: implications for healthier food environments.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Introduction: Food pantry managers play a key role in determining the food environment of the pantry, which can influence their clients' dietary composition. However, their impact on pantry food environments remains understudied. We sought to understand food pantry managers' nutrition knowledge, beliefs, and behaviors (KBBs) in this study. Methods: We surveyed 47 Alabama food pantry managers' nutrition KBBs from November 2022 to November 2023. Validated and previously published tools used include the Consumer Nutrition Knowledge Scale, a diet beliefs scale, and a dietary-related consumer behavior questionnaire. Results: The majority of managers were college-educated (54%), white (74%), and female (74%), with a mean age of 60 ± 13 years and an average of 7 ± 5.5 years of experience in managing food pantries. Managers reported positive nutrition beliefs and behaviors but scored lower on objective nutrition knowledge. Exploratory analyses indicated moderate to very strong associations between KBBs, pantry characteristics, and neighborhood characteristics. Conclusion: Nutrition education for pantry managers, along with improved pantry infrastructural support, could play a key role in improving the healthfulness of the food provided.
