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

objectiveThis study aimed to evaluate adult women's cooking (CS) and food preparation skills (FPS) and their nutrition literacy (NL) levels and to examine the relationship between these two concepts.

designData were collected via face-to-face interviews using a personal information form, the Cooking and Food Preparation Skills scale, and the Evaluation Instrument of Nutrition Literacy on Adults. Data were analysed with SPSS, with

settingFemale adults aged 20-64 years who participated in family support courses in Tepebaşı, Eskişehir, Turkey.

participantsThe study sample consisted of 330 female individuals between the ages of 20 and 64 years who agreed to participate in the survey.

resultsNL was generally adequate (91·8 %), though gaps were identified in portion knowledge (54·2 %) and food label reading (44·2 %, borderline). Higher literacy levels were associated with being younger, more educated and employed (

conclusionAlthough no strong link was found between NL and CS, these skills appear to support healthier eating behaviours. Promoting cooking and food preparation through nutrition education may help improve public health.
