Nutrition literacy is associated with general obesity, abdominal obesity, and body fat percentage obesity.

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: Obesity is associated with unhealthy eating behavior among adults. Nutrition literacy (NL) is an important determinant of eating behavior. This study investigated the association of NL with general obesity, abdominal obesity, and body fat percentage (BFP) obesity among adults. Methods: This study was a cross-sectional survey on the Nutrition Literacy and Obesity, conducted in Bengbu City, China (May to July 2023). The Short-Form Nutrition Literacy scale was used to evaluate the NL of adults. General obesity was defined as a body mass index of ≥28 kg/m Results: Participants with a high level of NL had low odds of general obesity (odds ratio [OR]: 0.66; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.43-0.99), abdominal obesity (OR: 0.63; 95% CI: 0.46-0.87), and BFP obesity (OR: 0.55; 95% CI: 0.35-0.87). In subgroup analyses and interaction tests, age significantly influenced the negative correlations of NL with abdominal obesity and BFP obesity ( Conclusion: Our findings highlight that adults with high levels of NL have low odds of general obesity, abdominal obesity, and BFP obesity. Age, sex, smoking status, and drinking status influence the correlation between NL and obesity. The results indicate the importance of NL in the prevention and management of obesity in adults. To effectively address the challenges of adult obesity management, public health practitioners should tailor nutrition education and skill training programs to specific demographic profiles.
