Article in Frontiers in nutrition, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Objective: To assess health practices among Polish firefighters in relation to the high physical and mental demands of their profession. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional survey design with categorical data analysis was used. An online survey was conducted between 10 October 2024 and 25 October 2024. The survey covered 856 officers serving in organisational units of the State Fire Service (SFS) throughout Poland. The survey was based on a proprietary questionnaire, including demographics and individual health practices: nutrition, stimulants, sleep, physical activity. Results: Eight hundred seventeen respondents who answered all questions were included in the analysis. The analysis of the results did not show any statistically significant differences between the genders in terms of: participation in sports/physical activity (yes vs. no) ( Conclusion: This nationwide survey identified clear, actionable patterns in firefighters' health behaviors. Overweight and obesity were common, and multiple behaviors clustered with higher BMI. Prevention should be targeted across career stages and supported organizationally integrating nutrition, hydration, sleep hygiene, and physical training with enabling conditions (duty scheduling, healthy food/water access on shift, protected time and facilities for exercise). Future studies should include objective measurements, validated psychosocial scales, and longitudinal designs to clarify directionality and evaluate interventions.
