Assessment of Nutritional Knowledge, Dietary Habits and Nutritional Status of Cardiology Patients, Considering Differences Between Individuals with Hypertension and Atherosclerosis and Those Without These Conditions.

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/
objectivesProper nutrition and correct habits and behaviours are crucial elements in the treatment and prevention of hypertension or atherosclerosis. This study aims to assess the nutritional knowledge, dietary habits, and nutritional status of cardiology patients, particularly those with hypertension and atherosclerosis.
methodsThe study was conducted at St. Barbara Regional Specialized Hospital No. 5 in Sosnowiec from January to June 2021. It included 301 patients, 51.2% women (N = 154) and 48.8% men (N = 147), who were assessed for Body Mass Index, Nutritional Risk Score, and morphological and biochemical test results. Their knowledge and dietary habits were examined using a questionnaire and rating scale designed by the authors. While the study encompassed all cardiology patients, a subgroup analysis specifically examined individuals diagnosed with hypertension and/or atherosclerosis.
results80% of the respondents showed above-normal body weight, while there were no significant differences in the risk of malnutrition according to the Nutritional Risk Score. The diet analysis revealed insufficient intake of fruits, vegetables, legumes, dairy, whole grains, and fish, while the consumption of salty snacks, sweetened beverages, energy drinks, and alcohol was low. Analysis of morphology and biochemistry results showed no significant differences between patients with atherosclerosis, hypertension, and others.
conclusionsThe study reveals insufficient nutritional knowledge and poor dietary habits among cardiology patients, highlighting the need for targeted education to improve dietary behaviours and reduce cardiovascular risks. Implementing nutrition-focused interventions in cardiology care could enhance patient outcomes. Future research should explore the long-term effects of dietary education and identify effective strategies for behavioural change in this population.
