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
Objective: This study identifies nutritional literacy subgroups and influencing factors among elderly chronic disease patients to develop targeted interventions. Methods: A total of 316 elderly chronic disease patients from a tertiary hospital in Deyang, China, were surveyed using standardized scales (General Information, Nutritional Literacy, Chronic Disease Management Self-Efficacy). Latent profile analysis identified nutritional literacy subgroups, with univariate and ordered logistic regression verifying influencing factors. Results: A total of 316 valid samples were included, with a nutritional literacy score of 67.50 (51.00, 84.00). Nutritional literacy among elderly patients with chronic diseases was classified into three latent categories: "passive dependent type" (23.1%), "cognitive fluctuation type" (42.4%), and "autonomous management type" (34.5%). Ordered logistic regression showed that younger age groups had 25.64-fold [95% confidence interval (CI):5.07-129.66], 13.93-fold (95% CI: 3.10-62.61), and 9.66-fold (95% CI:2.42-38.54) higher odds of better nutritional literacy compared to the reference group aged ≥90 years. Compared to the highest income group (≥5,001 yuan), lower monthly income levels were associated with reduced odds of better nutritional literacy, with odds of 0.13-fold (95% CI: 0.04-0.45), 0.31-fold (95% CI: 0.11-0.91), and 0.25 -fold (95% CI: 0.09-0.64) for the ≤1,000 yuan, 1,001-3,000 yuan, and 3,001-5,000 yuan brackets, respectively. Smartphone use was associated with 1.96-fold higher odds versus non-users (95% CI: 1.03-3.74), while each unit increase in self-efficacy for chronic disease management was associated with 1.04-fold higher odds (95% CI:1.01-1.07) (all Conclusion: Nutritional literacy among elderly patients with chronic diseases is moderately low and heterogeneous, and can be categorized into three latent profiles. Different categories of elderly patients exhibit distinct nutritional characteristics; therefore, interventions should be tailored to each nutritional literacy category to develop personalized improvement strategies. In particular, more education and support should be provided to "passive dependent type" patients to help enhance their self-management ability and improve their nutritional status, thereby better managing their chronic diseases and improving their quality of life. However, this single-center convenience sample from one Chinese city limits generalizability due to unaccounted regional/cultural diversity. Future multi-center studies across diverse settings should validate these findings.
