Effectiveness of a controlled trial of nutrition education in primary school, ZELIAKIDE project: knowledge and mid-morning snack consumption.
Article in BMC public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05467865 (A Quasi-experimental Intervention Protocol for Nutrition Education About Celiac Disease to Primary School Children), which is not on this map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.

Abstract
backgroundThe consumption of unhealthy foods has increased considerably in recent years and in Spain, the diet is increasingly moving away from the healthy and traditional patterns of the Mediterranean diet. The aim of this article is to assess the effectiveness of a nutrition education programme designed to increase knowledge regarding balanced diet and improve the nutritional quality of mid-morning snacks.
methodsA one-month school-based nutrition education programme called Zeliakide (8 sessions), aimed at children, based on previously defined competencies and learning outcomes and delivered through a STEAM methodology (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics centered methodology) was designed to be followed by the intervention group. The study was a non-randomised controlled trial with two clusters. The evaluation of the programme was carried out through pre, post and retention test questionnaires. Mid-morning snacks were also evaluated. The control group was a similar group of students, but they did not participate in any activities.
resultsTwo hundred ninety-nine children participated in the study. 155 in the intervention group and 144 in the control group. After the intervention, knowledge and behaviours related to a balanced diet improved. The mean punctuation of healthy mid-morning snacks also improved from an average of 0.6 to 0.8 on a scale of 0 (unhealthy) to 1 (healthy) (p < 0.001), although the latter decreased somewhat after one month.
conclusionThe Zeliakide programme was an effective nutrition education programme to promote healthy lifestyles. However, in order to prolong its impact, nutrition education programs could be consistently taught in schools over time.
trial registrationThe trial was registered prospectively at ClinicalTrial.gov with registration number NCT05467865 on 21 July 2022.
