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 and Aims: Functional foods (FF) may contribute to achieving both longer and healthier life expectancy. However, knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) regarding FF remain unexplored in Bangladesh. Therefore, this study assessed KAP levels and their socio-demographic predictors among Bangladeshi adults. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 966 adults in Bangladesh (May 2023-June 2023) using face-to-face interviews through structured questionnaire. Knowledge (12 dichotomous items, total 0-12 score), attitudes (10 items on a 3-point Likert scale, total 0-20 score), and practices (12 items on a 4-point Likert scale, total 0-36 score) were assessed, with cut-offs of < 6, < 10, and < 18 classified as poor, and ≥ 6, ≥ 10, and ≥ 18 classified as good, respectively. Group differences were analyzed using Results: Finding shows that the majority of participants had poor knowledge (75.3%) and poor practices (65.3%), though attitudes were overwhelmingly positive (90.1%). Lower knowledge score was associated with being a housewife ( Conclusions: Knowledge and practices regarding FF were generally low among Bangladeshi adults, despite predominantly positive attitudes. Education, gender, income, health status, and exercise mostly influence the KAP, highlighting implications for public health strategies, nutrition education programs, and future policy development related to FF consumption in Bangladesh.
