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

BACKGROUND/

objectivesLegacy media are those that existed prior to the advent of the internet. Legacy media have a focus on the needs of specific readership populations. Because of this focus, they remain a trusted source of information for many people. During the COVID-19 pandemic, these media addressed readers' needs for recipes for home food preparation.

methodsTo evaluate the accuracy of the recipe descriptions and to compare these to their estimated nutritional value, we examined 182 recipes extracted from 942 food- and nutrition-related articles in a sample of magazines collected from January to December 2020. Because herbs and spices enhance the palatability of foods, are associated with healthier diet patterns, and provide phytochemicals which may have health benefits, we also examined the inclusion of these in the recipes when comparing their nutritional value.

resultsNutrient comparisons across these groups showed that recipes identified as healthy were the highest in vitamin C, fiber, and potassium and the lowest in cholesterol (

conclusionsOverall, these results support the hypothesis that recipes in legacy media identified as healthy, as well as those that contained more herbs and spices, were more likely to correspond to healthy diet guidelines.
