Sports Dietitians Evaluation of Food Provision for Athletes at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

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
International expert review by sports dietitians/nutritionists of the food provision for the Summer and Winter Olympic and Paralympic games (OPG) has occurred since 2008, with inconsistent ratings between events. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to describe outcomes of an evaluation of food provision for the 2020 Tokyo OPG on three separate occasions: Phases 1 and 2 on paper reviews pre COVID-19 (2019) and an onsite (Phase 3) review (2021). A secondary aim was to compare level of experience of sports dietitians/nutritionists for overall rating of the menu. A previously developed survey for review of food provision at past OPG was adapted to include questions relevant to the 2020 Tokyo OPG main dining hall menu, other food outlets, venues and satellite villages. Food provision in the main dining hall on site rated significantly better overall (p = 0.037) and for specific aspects of the menu on site than proposed in 2019. This may be attributed to a long lead in time, fewer numbers attending due to COVID-19, less time spent in the dining hall and a high turnover of food. However, comments suggested less flexibility to modify the menu during the event. Satellite operations and venues were rated 'good' for food safety but 'poor' for performance, dietary and cultural needs. There was a negative correlation between expert overall rating and years of experience (p = 0.008). Monitoring of food provision at OPG by sports nutrition experts is essential to ensure delivery of suitable food for athletes' health and performance.
