A case study evaluation of the Nutrition Society of Australia's mentoring program for Registered Nutritionists.
Article in Public health nutrition, 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
objectiveTo explore the development of the Nutrition Society of Australia's (NSA) mentoring program for Registered Nutritionists and evaluate the experience of the nutrition professionals participating in the mentoring program.
designCase study evaluation utilising a focus group, individual semi-structured interviews, open-ended survey responses and document analysis, via an interpretivist lens.
settingAustralia.
participantsThree members of the NSA's inaugural Mentoring Program Committee participated in a focus group. Eleven program mentees and ten mentors from three consecutive cohorts of the NSA mentoring program for Registered Nutritionists (paired in 2021-2022) agreed to participate.
resultsData were analysed from survey responses, document analysis, in addition to focus group and in-depth interviews with twelve program participants. Mentoring was seen as a pathway beyond tertiary training to negotiate challenges associated with career development; mentors were seen as facilitators of growth through 'real world' skill-set acquisition. Successful partnerships were facilitated by program flexibility and the perception of professional compatibility. Participation in the NSA's mentoring program was perceived to value-add to society membership, strengthening the society and professional practice, promoting networking within the nutrition community and public health field.
conclusionsMentoring programs may provide access to diverse skillsets required in a non-vocational profession, promoting greater confidence and a stronger professional identity. These skills are essential for fostering a resilient nutrition workforce that can help combat the burden of non-communicable disease.
