Professional training to implement the dietary guidelines for the Brazilian population in primary health care: development and content validity of a massive open online course.
Article in BMC primary care, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundThe Dietary Guidelines for the Brazilian Population provide recommendations for healthy diets to prevent noncommunicable chronic diseases, emphasizing the golden rule: always prefer natural or minimally processed foods and freshly prepared dishes and meals to ultra-processed foods. While widely recognized, the integration of dietary advice based on the Dietary Guidelines recommendations has not yet been sufficiently incorporated into Primary Health Care. Protocols based on the Brazilian Dietary Guidelines for Individual Dietary Advice were developed to support healthcare professionals in providing individualized dietary advice based on the Brazilian Dietary Guidelines tailored to different stages of lifetime. Training healthcare professionals to use the Protocols might increase their confidence and is a strategic step toward implementing the Guidelines in routine care. This study aimed to develop and validate a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) on the Protocols based on the Brazilian Dietary Guidelines for individual dietary advice.
methodsThis methodological study investigated the development and content validity of a Massive Open Online Course designed to qualify Primary Health Care professionals in dietary advice based on the Protocols. Development and validation involved defining objectives, theoretical frameworks and learning skills; creating content and structure; conducting content validity assessments through a panel of experts; analyzing the results via content validity index scores and thematic content analysis with a comprehensive approach; and refining pedagogical tools in the virtual learning environment.
resultsA Massive Open Online Couse, titled QualiGuia, was developed. All the content sessions achieved content validity index scores above the cutoff grade (0.8). Experts' perceptions were categorized to assess content adequacy, clarity, relevance, and alignment with the theoretical framework. Suggestions for improvement and potential implementation challenges were also addressed. The course included case studies reflecting typical Primary Health Care situations with appropriate complexity and depth, effectively meeting learning objectives.
conclusionsThe Massive Open Online Course QualiGuia was validated as an effective tool for training Primary Health Care professionals to use the Protocols based on the Brazilian Dietary Guidelines. Its content and structure align with the goals of the Guidelines, supporting healthcare providers in integrating dietary advice into Primary Health Care practices.
