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
backgroundHospital nutrition services rarely offer Indigenous-specific menu options, an essential element of delivering "Indigenous cultural safety" in nutrition care to Indigenous patients.
methodsIndigenous participants (n = 370) completed a semistructured Indigenous Food Ways survey (paper-based and online) from 2021 to 2022 as part of continuous healthcare quality improvement. Descriptive statistics summarized cultural/traditional foods respondents wanted to see or did not want to see as options on hospital menus.
resultsA majority of respondents (83%) agreed that a menu option for cultural/traditional foods was important, with 716 unique items reported. Seafood and meat/alternatives were common cultural/traditional items for menu options, specifically salmon (22%), traditional meat (14%), moose (12%), and venison (12%). Grain items reported were mostly Bannock (22%). Nearly 20% of the sample listed traditional foods, medicine, or tea as options for hospital menus. Respondents identified 254 items they did not want to see on hospital menus, which were commonly energy-dense/processed foods (16%) or poorly prepared/flavored items (13%), as well as peas and carrots (7%). Notably, some foods (eg, Bannock, salmon, fish eggs) were listed among both desired and not desired menu options.
conclusionResults showed that offering cultural or traditional foods on hospital menus is considered important by Indigenous people, and that a wide range of foods would be desired. Specific cultural foods to include on menus were salmon, traditional meats, or traditional teas. Foods not to include were also identified. Improving future nutrition care and services will require menu modifications to provide culturally safe options for Indigenous patients.
