Can Enhanced Nutrition Knowledge Improve Adherence to the Mediterranean Diet Among Physically Active Individuals? Evidence From a Cross-Sectional Study.

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
The Mediterranean diet (MD) health benefits are well-known for the general population and athletes alike. Nutrition knowledge can affect food choices and dietary habits. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between sports nutrition knowledge and adherence to the MD in physically active individuals (PAI). A total of 400 PAI participated in our cross-sectional study, 74.5% women and 25.5% men. The survey was performed in person. Information on demographic variables, Nutrition for Sports Knowledge Questionnaire (NSKQ), and Mediterranean Diet Adherence Screener (MEDAS) was collected. Among PAIs, there was low nutritional knowledge (67.8%) and low adherence to the MD (65.5%). There was a significant difference between the levels of sports nutrition knowledge of PAI and MD adherence (Low NK-MEDAS = 6.05 ± 2.50, Very good NK-MEDAS = 7.28 ± 2.06,
