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

Nutrition literacy is the capacity to obtain, understand, and apply nutrition information. It plays a pivotal role in addressing India's coexistence of undernutrition, micronutrient deficiencies, and rising non-communicable diseases. This perspective synthesizes evidence on how nutrition, food, and health literacy shape dietary behavior and program uptake. This will highlight the rural-urban and adolescent-young adult gaps. We argue for participatory action research (PAR) approaches to co-design context-specific interventions and propose a multilevel strategy spanning schools, antenatal care, and community platforms. We present a conceptual framework linking literacy domains to improved dietary quality and NCD prevention, and outline priorities for measurement and policy integration in India.
