The metabolic chronic disease prevention program in Saint Kitts and Nevis: a dietary recall study.
Article in Frontiers in 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
Background: The Federation of Saint Christopher and Nevis faces a growing prevalence of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) due to dietary transitions, sedentary lifestyles, and unhealthy behaviors. This study aims to assess food and nutrient intake, nutrient deficiencies, and health behaviors among residents of the country. Methods: The study was conducted from February to March 2023. Individuals who lived in Saint Kitts and Nevis for at least 6 months, aged more than 18 years were randomly selected from 14 administrative parishes based on the population ratio. A 24-h dietary recall method was used to collect food and nutrient intake data. Demographic, physical activity, food intake frequency and other health behaviors were also collected. Descriptive statistical analysis was conducted on the baseline characteristics and nutritional intake, and logistic regression was used to assess the effects of demographic characteristics on unhealthy behaviors. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS. Results: A total of 212 individuals (156 from Saint Kitts and 56 from Nevis) underwent the survey. The median BMI was 28.0, with 52.8% reporting no physical activity in the past week. The median caloric intake was 1737.8 kcal/day, with males consuming more than females. The proportional of total daily caloric intake was 46.3, 16.9 and 34.3% for carbohydrate, protein, and lipid, respectively. Other nutrients intake data revealed suboptimal calcium and vitamin A consumption, with 565.7 mg/day for calcium and 223.2 μg/day for vitamin A. The median sodium intake was 2914.9 mg, while potassium intake was 2044.3 mg. A sodium-to-potassium ratio was 1.43, which was above the WHO's recommended value. Conclusion: In the study, we found the population of Saint Kitts and Nevis exhibits nutritional imbalance and low physical activities. These findings highlight the need for interventions to improve nutrition and promote healthy behaviors to deal with the rising burden of NCDs in the region.
