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

Healthy nutrition is an essential factor in the growth and development of children. To support children's developmental processes and protect them from diseases, their immune systems must be strengthened through a balanced diet. Bee products are natural substances with high nutritional value. Although various studies show the benefits of bee products on human health, there are uncertainties among parents regarding their use. Therefore, the study aimed to investigate parents' awareness of using bee products for their children and to determine their perceptions about the effects of these products on their health. This qualitative study employed semi-structured interviews with 40 parents of children aged 4-6 years. It was found that the bee products consumed by their children were primarily honey, with some parents also using propolis and pollen. In cases where children did not want to consume bee products, parents mixed bee products with other foods to make them more palatable. Parents use natural products to support their children's development and protect them from diseases, and generally prefer honey as a bee product.
