Energy and Nutritional Content of Lunch Menus in Turkish Universities: The Impact on Ecological Footprint.
Article in Food science & nutrition, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between ecological footprints and the nutritional contents of lunch menus in universities. One-month lunch menus were evaluated from 70 state universities in seven geographic regions in Türkiye. The mean protein, carbohydrate, and fat of the menus were 44.1 ± 2.7 g, 113.7 ± 7.4 g, and 80.9 ± 6.3 g, respectively. Regional differences were observed in the nutrient composition of university lunch menus. The Black Sea region had the highest plant-based protein, while animal-based protein was highest in Eastern/Southeastern Anatolia (
