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/
objectivesThis study aimed to perform a nutritional risk assessment in Korean adults by estimating the usual intake of energy and nutrients from foods, including dietary supplement (DS) intake, and assessing the prevalence of excessive and inadequate intake. SUBJECTS/
methodsThe usual intake for adults aged 19 to 69 years was estimated using the National Cancer Institute method, applying the within- and between-person variance from the 2009 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) to one-day dietary recall data from the 2019-2021 KNHANES. The usual intake from foods only was calculated using this approach. The DS intake was then added to estimate the total nutrient intake. Nutrient adequacy was assessed according to gender and age using the 2020 Korean Dietary Reference Intakes.
resultsThe distribution of the usual intake estimates differed significantly from the one-day values. In particular, the one-day intake underestimated the prevalence of excessive sodium intake (68.5%) compared to the usual intake (83.8%), while inadequate protein intake prevalence was overestimated considerably (21.6% vs. 5.6%). Men showed a higher prevalence of excessive energy, protein, fat, and sodium intake, while women showed a higher prevalence of inadequate intake, particularly for iron (45.5%), even after accounting for DS intake. Micronutrient inadequacy was more common in younger adults, whereas adults aged 30 years and older showed a higher prevalence of excessive intake with DS use. Although DSs helped reduce the prevalence of inadequate intake (e.g., vitamin A: 74.8% to 61.2%), they also slightly increased the prevalence of excessive intake in some nutrients.
conclusionEstimating the usual nutrient intake offers a more robust and realistic nutritional risk assessment than using the one-day dietary recall data as it stands. This study revealed disparities in nutritional intake according to gender and age, and highlighted the dual role of DSs. Public health strategies should support food-based nutrient adequacy before promoting DS use and provide targeted interventions for vulnerable groups.
