1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Nutrition affects overall health, but comprehensive nutrition education is currently under-taught in medical schools. Even when available, nutrition courses rarely include global cultural perspectives. This paper describes a novel online, international, and interactive elective course for senior medical students to learn and review fundamental nutrition topics in cross-cultural contexts. From March to April 2023, students participated in synchronous large-group lectures and asynchronous small-group discussions with peers from across the world. Students demonstrated content-level knowledge and reported greater awareness of nutrition-related cultural perspectives. Thus, students were introduced to multiple dimensions of medicine crucial for holistic patient care but currently rarely combined in traditional curricula.
