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: Meat and vegetable consumption was each vital for maintaining human health condition. Periodic surveillance and assessment of population-level meat and vegetable consumption are critically important for tailored healthy eating intervention. The primary aim of this study was to investigate the consumption patterns of meat and vegetables among community-dwelling adults in regional China in 2023. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted in the first year of the post-COVID-19 pandemic in Nanjing Municipality of China. Participants were those residents aged 18 years or above and randomly selected from the whole municipality. The recommendations recently released by the China Nutrition Society in 2022 were used to assess participants' meat and vegetable consumption level. Logistic regression models were used to identify potential influencing factors of meat and vegetable consumption. Results: Among the 60,945 participants analyzed, the medians of meat and vegetable consumption were 700.0 g/wk (interquartile range = 375.0, 1,100) and 200.0 g/d (interquartile range = 100.0, 300.0), respectively. Moreover, 13.7% (95%CI = 13.4, 13.9), 18.1% (95%CI = 17.8, 18.5), and 68.2% (95%CI = 67.8, 68.6) of participants consumed meat under, within, and beyond the recommended level, respectively, whereas 71.1% (95%CI = 70.7, 71.4) and 28.9% (95%CI = 28.6, 29.3) consumed vegetables under and reaching the recommended level, respectively. Selected socio-demographic characteristics, lifestyle and behaviors, and chronic conditions were associated with meat and vegetable consumption. Conclusion: A large proportion of community-dwelling adults consumed meat exceeding the recommended level, whereas a small proportion consumed vegetables reaching the recommended level in regional China in 2023. Moreover, disparities of meat and vegetable consumption existed in socio-demographic characteristics, lifestyle and behaviors, and selected chronic conditions. However, no causality could be inferred due to the nature of the cross-sectional study. For future tailored population-level interventions of healthy eating of meat and vegetables, particular attention should be paid to participants' socio-demographic characteristics, lifestyle and behaviors, and specific chronic conditions.
