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

purposeNutrition is an important part of sports activities. This study aimed to investigate the basic knowledge of nutrition of college students majoring in physical education and to identify the completion rates of subjects according to their desired occupation.

methodsThe study was conducted on 389 college students, aged above 20 years, in the Republic of Korea. The survey consisted of a total of 23 questions and was conducted through a 100% non-face-to-face online survey. The SPSS WIN 26.0 program was used for statistical analysis; statistical significance was set at p < 0.05.

resultsAccording to the study results, only approximately 30% of respondents took nutrition classes at universities, and the completion rate was in the order: treatment and rehabilitation > education > players > others (p < 0.001). Further, less than 5% of respondents took nutrition classes at non-university institutions. Self-assessment of one's nutritional knowledge was also very low; however, many subjects perceived the necessity and importance of nutritional knowledge (p < 0.001).

conclusionThe study findings reveal that students recognize the importance and necessity of nutrition knowledge, but there is a lack of sufficient university education and suitable external institutions. The Korea Exercise Nutrition Expert Qualification Training course conducted by The Korean Society Exercise Nutrition, started in 2023, is a good opportunity to deliver the necessary nutritional knowledge to students and physical education majors.
