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

aimThis study aimed to evaluate the relationship between environmental literacy, sustainable food literacy, and adherence to the Mediterranean diet (MD) in adults.

methodData were collected via a web-based questionnaire created using Google Forms between April and August 2024 in Erzurum, Turkey. A total of 394 adults participated through snowball sampling. The questionnaire included sections on demographic information, anthropometric measurements, the Environmental Literacy Scale for Adults (ELSA), the Sustainable Food Literacy Scale (SFLS), and the Mediterranean Diet Adherence Screener (MEDAS).

results38.6% of the participants were found to adhere to the Mediterranean Diet (MD). Married participants were more likely to have adhered to the MD than single ones (odds ratio [OR]:0.41, p = 0.006). Adherence to the MD was associated with higher education duration (OR = 1.05, p = 0.011), a higher SFLS total score (OR = 1.01, p = 0.025), and a higher ELSA score (OR = 1.04, p = 0.004).

conclusionThe MD is a sustainable dietary model that enhances health and is environmentally friendly. For this reason, it may be possible to direct society towards healthier and less environmentally damaging food choices through training to increase individuals' sustainable literacy and environmental literacy levels.
