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
objectiveTo develop a weight management nutrition knowledge questionnaire for Chinese adults (C-WMNKQ) and to test its reliability and validity.
methodsWe evaluated the content validity of the questionnaire using the expert consultation method, evaluated the face validity of the questionnaire through a pre-survey, eliminated the questions that did not meet the criteria through item difficulty, item differentiation, and inter-item correlation. We verified the construct validity using the known-groups comparison method. Correlation analysis by comparing it with the general nutrition knowledge questionnaire for Chinese adults (C-GNKQ) was conducted for criterion validity evaluation. The internal consistency reliability, split-half reliability, and test-retest reliability validation were also evaluated, and relevant evidence of expected convergent validity was obtained.
resultsThe final C-WMNKQ contains 39 items in 5 dimensions. The overall internal consistency of the C-WMNKQ was 0.808 for Cronbach's alpha coefficient, 0.81 for ω coefficient, 0.788 for Guttman's coefficient, 0.843 for Spearman's correlation coefficient, and 0.908 for overall ICC (95% CI = 0.870-0.935). Meeting the criterion of structural validity, nutrition professionals scored 26.3% higher than those in the financial field, p < 0.001. The correlation coefficient between the total C-WMNKQ score and the total C-GNKQ score was 0.641, p < 0.001, which is good for criterion validity. In terms of convergent validity, the level of nutrition knowledge of women was higher than that of men, the partial nutrition knowledge score of participants aged 35-54 years old was significantly higher than that of participants aged 18-34 years old, the level of nutrition knowledge of those with higher education was higher. Participants with per capita monthly household income >8000RMB had significantly higher partial nutrition knowledge scores than those with <3000RMB and 3000-5000RMB.
conclusionsC-WMNKQ has good reliability and validity and can be used as a valid tool to assess the nutrition knowledge of Chinese adults related to weight management.
