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: Cognitive impairment is a major public health concern. Nutrition literacy (NL) is the capacity of an individual to make informed decisions about nutrition, which is reflected in their eating behaviors and ultimately affects their overall nutritional wellbeing. The association between NL and cognitive impairment is unclear. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among individuals aged 60 years and above. NL was evaluated via the validated NL-12 scale, and cognitive impairment was identified via a simplified 30-item Chinese Mini-Mental State Examination scale. The association between NL and cognitive impairment was examined via binary logistic regression. Results: Of the 1,344 study participants, 30.3% had cognitive impairment. Compared with those in the lowest NL quartile, individuals in the highest NL quartile had a lower likelihood of experiencing cognitive impairment [odds ratio (OR) = 0.12, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.07-0.20]. This relationship extends to the dimensions of knowledge, understanding, obtaining, interactive, and critical skills. Moreover, the negative association of NL in the Q4 group with cognitive impairment, compared with that in the corresponding Q1 group, was significant regardless of age, sex, exercise status, and socioeconomic status. This association, however, was only evident in older adults who exhibited healthy behavior. Additionally, health behavior significantly moderated the association between NL and cognitive impairment, with an interaction Conclusion: Higher levels of NL were associated with lower odds of cognitive impairment in older adults, especially those exhibiting healthier behavior. This study underscores the importance of enhancing NL as a means to mitigate cognitive impairment in older adults. Future research should concentrate on examining interventions that synergize NL with healthy lifestyle practices, ensuring their seamless integration into the daily routines of older adults to address the challenges associated with cognitive impairment effectively.
