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

In an era where information is readily accessible, the dissemination of accurate and reliable health information is crucial for public health promotion. This scoping review explores the impacts of misinformation and disinformation variables on the implementation of nutritional health strategies. It also examines how the design and delivery of these strategies may contribute to the emergence of misinformation. By synthesizing insights from existing literature, this review highlights effective approaches and identifies research limitations to propose actionable recommendations for further investigation. A systematic search on PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science identified fourteen studies published between 2014 and 2024. These fourteen studies focused on various health strategies implemented across different media and in several formats to improve public knowledge and behavior regarding nutrition. Key findings included the role of misinformation variables in shaping public perceptions, the importance of cultural adaptation in health strategies, and the effectiveness of tools, such as e-health communication platforms. This review underscores the necessity for evidence-based, culturally sensitive, and accessible health promotion strategies to counter misinformation and foster informed nutritional practices. Further research is needed to address gaps in demographic representation, user engagement, and the long-term impacts of these strategies.
