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

This study aimed to describe the demographics, nutrient and food group intakes, and adherence to dietary guidelines among Japanese adolescents aged 10-14 years. This cross-sectional study involved 5225 elementary and junior high school students who were surveyed for the NICE EVIDENCE project from 2018 to 2023 (mean age: 11.9 ± 1.4 years; 50.3% male). Nutritional intake was assessed using the brief-type self-administered diet history questionnaire (BDHQ). Nutrient intake inadequacy was assessed in four groups (males and females in the 10-11- and 12-14-year age groups) based on the Dietary Reference Intakes for Japanese (2025). Demographic data indicated that the prevalence of thinness was higher among females, while the prevalence of overweight and obesity was higher among males. Overall, daily breakfast consumption was high but tended to decrease with age. Nutritional inadequacy rates were generally higher in females, particularly in the 12-14-year age group. Major micronutrient inadequacies included iron, calcium, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, potassium, vitamin D, and vitamin B6. Among the nutrients with established dietary goals, salt equivalent intake exceeded 90% inadequacy in all groups, followed by intake inadequacies in dietary fiber, fat energy percentage, and potassium. Confectionery consumption was relatively high in this population (> 50 g/day), indicating a potential area for dietary improvement. Promoting regular breakfast and increasing micronutrients and fiber intakes, while reducing sodium, total fat, and saturated fat intakes, could address nutritional inadequacies in this population.
