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.

Abstract
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has brought about substantial changes in lifestyles, highlighting the importance of online nutritional counseling as a viable strategy to enhance knowledge and promote healthier lifestyles. This approach serves as an alternative means to prevent non-communicable diseases and strengthen immune function. This study aimed to assess the impact of nutritional tele-counseling on knowledge levels and lifestyle habits related to immunity among university staff members in Lima, Peru. Methods: A quasi-experimental analytical study was conducted, using a non-probabilistic convenience sampling method to select a sample of 35 participants aged between 30 and 59 years. The study was conducted via the Zoom platform. A pre-test was administered, followed by a two-month counseling program that included sessions on nutrition and lifestyle-related topics. A post-test was administered at the conclusion of the intervention. Data analysis was conducted using the McNemar test for categorical variables and the Wilcoxon signed-rank test for quantitative variables, with a statistical significance level set at p < 0.05. All analyses were performed using SPSS version 17. Results: The knowledge score related to immunity-enhancing foods and nutrients showed a significant increase, with the mean score rising from 3.3 ± 1.9 to 7.1 ± 1.5 ( Conclusion: These results demonstrate the effectiveness of the nutritional tele-counseling program in significantly enhancing both nutritional knowledge and lifestyle practices.
