Nutritional literacy and health behaviors in primary school students in China: a cross-sectional study.
Article in BMC public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveThe school-age children are in the stage of rapid growth and development, and balanced diet and rational nutrition is the basis for the normal development of children and even the health of their whole life. The study was designed to assess the nutritional literacy and health behaviors in Chinese primary school students.
methodsA total of 5582 Chinese primary school students participated in the study. Self-designed questionnaire was used to collect the information of nutritional literacy and health behaviors. The students were divided into four groups based on their scoring rate in response to the scores answering the nutritional literacy questions.
resultsThe overall scoring rate of answering the nutritional literacy questions was 0.89 for students in Grades 1-3 and 0.75 for those in Grades 4-6. Among students in Grades 1-3, the scoring rates of answering the questions related with dietary recommendations, food safety, characteristics of food, dietary habits, and nutrition and disease, were 0.82, 0.89, 0.95, 0.95, and 0.92, respectively. For the students in Grades 4-6, the scoring rates were 0.53, 0.85, 0.77, 0.81, and 0.89, respectively. Compared with G
conclusionEmphasizing dietary recommendations in nutrition education for primary school students is necessary. Furthermore, higher nutritional literacy among Chinese primary school students is associated with greater dietary diversity and high frequency of breakfast consumption.
