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

Improper dietary habits among students are a growing public health concern, as they contrib-ute to diet-related diseases. This study aimed to assess the frequency of food consumption among students, with analysis of factors influencing their choices and potential health conse-quences, particularly regarding health-promoting properties of the diet. A total of 1269 students (436 women and 833 men) from the Józef Piłsudski University of Physical Education in Warsaw participated in the study. The average age was about 20 years, mean body weight 72 kg, and mean height 177 cm. Eating habits were evaluated using the validated Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ-6), and diet quality was assessed with the Pro-Health Diet Index (pHDI-10). Significant gender differences were found in the consumption of refined bread, butter, fruits, vegetables, red meat, and poultry. Men also consumed fruit juices, sweetened beverages, beer, wine, and vodka more frequently than women. Overall, the majority of participants' diets had a low probability of health-promoting properties. In conclusion, student diets show limited health-promoting potential and indicate a high pre-disposition to diet-related diseases. These results highlight the importance of implementing educational programs promoting rational nutrition and healthy lifestyle choices in the student population.
