Development and Validation of an Indian Nutrition and Food Literacy Tool (INFOLIT) for adolescents.
Article in Frontiers in nutrition, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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: Nutrition and food literacy (NFL) are interconnected yet distinct concepts concerning the capability to comprehend and utilize knowledge pertaining to nutrition and food. NFL is a significant driver that shapes an individuals' diet. This is more so among adolescents whose dietary choices leave a lasting impact on nutritional and health outcomes in adulthood. Assessing NFL can help design tailored interventions to empower adolescents to make informed dietary decision. However, there is lack of standardized tools to assess NFL among adolescents, especially in India. Objective: To develop and validate an Indian Nutrition and Food Literacy Tool (INFOLIT) for adolescents with a focus on key literacy domains. Materials and methods: This five-phased cross-sectional sequential exploratory study was conducted among adolescents (13-15y) in Hyderabad, Telangana. In Phase-1, an item-pool was created for tool development through literature review and it was tested for content validity in phase-2 by experts ( Results: The initial item pool included 98 items into two domains - Cognitive and Skill-based for creating framework. The cognitive-domain had one dimension- Knowledge; whereas, the skill-domain had three dimensions-(i)functional, (ii)interactive and (iii)critical. Content validity and cognitive interviews eliminated 13 items. The item difficulty (p) and item discrimination (D) indices ranged 0.10-0.98 and 0.00-0.88, respectively, with strong internal consistency (Cronbach's Conclusion: The INFOLIT is a validated and culturally relevant tool for assessing adolescent NFL and can be adapted for use in various Indian regions and contexts after minor modifications.
