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

Food safety is a key public health function, as the catering sector is a frequently cited source of outbreaks. This study evaluated the knowledge and attitudes of food business operators (FBOs) in Attica, Greece, regarding food hygiene.

Statistical analysis included the chi-square test and multiple logistic regression to identify factors associated with adequate knowledge and positive attitudes in the study population. Questions related to hand hygiene (98.9%, n=516) and pathogen identification (
