Enhancing knowledge and attitudes through the 'healthy nutrition' education program: a Solomon four-group experimental study with older adults at a social life campus.
Article in BMC geriatrics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06544031 (Increasing the Level of Knowledge and Reflecting on Attitudes With the "Healthy Nutrition" Training to the Individuals in the Nursing Home in Izmir Buca Social Life Campus), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
backgroundThe aim of this study is to increase the attitude and knowledge levels of older adults living in a Social Life Campus about healthy nutrition after 'Healthy Nutrition' training, to reflect it on attitude and to improve older health.
methodsThis experimental study utilized a Solomon four-group design and was conducted with a total of 69 older adults, divided into two experimental groups of 30 individuals and two control groups of 39 individuals. Participants were healthy older adults without psychological or neurological illnesses, capable of effectively receiving education. They volunteered for the training program and were administered the measurement tool.
resultsThe dependent sample t-test results showed a significant difference in the pre-test and post-test scores of the Healthy Nutrition Attitude Scale in the experimental group (pre-test mean = 3.20, SD = 0.45; post-test mean = 4.10, SD = 0.30), ( t = -8.832, p = 0.001), but not in the control group (pre-test mean = 3.50, SD = 0.40; post-test mean = 3.51, SD = 0.42), (t = 0.123, p = 0.903). Similarly, the Nutrition Knowledge Scale showed a significant difference in the experimental group (pre-test mean = 2.50, SD = 0.35; post-test mean = 3.10, SD = 0.32), (t = -10.175, p = 0.001), but not in the control group (pre-test mean = 2.15, SD = 0.25), (post-test mean = 2.17, SD = 0.20; t = -1.888, p = 0.074).
conclusionsThis study demonstrates that the Healthy Nutrition Education Program significantly improves the nutritional knowledge and attitudes of older adults, promoting healthier eating habits. The program's structured design highlights its potential for adaptation and implementation in health promotion initiatives targeting similar elderly populations.
