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

Background: Sustainable sports nutrition is increasingly recognized as a means of enhancing the athlete's performance while reducing negative environmental impacts, however, empirical data in the context of adolescent athletes is limited. Objectives: This study examined sport nutrition knowledge, environmental awareness, and sustainable dietary behaviors among adolescent athletes, and their associated with motivation and sports participation. Methods: A mixed-methods design was used to examine sustainable nutrition behaviors and their motivational, contextual, and social determinants. A total of 312 athletes were invited to participate, and 120 completed a structured survey (response rate: 38%). Measures included a modified Sport Nutrition Knowledge Questionnaire, a validated environmental awareness subscale ( Results and discussion: Quantitative analyses showed that 78% of the participants reported moderate awareness of the environmental impact of food choices, and 62% had adopted at least one sustainable dietary practice. SPS was positively correlated with sports nutrition knowledge (r = 0.39, Conclusion: In general, adolescent athletes demonstrated developing and context-dependent sustainable dietary behaviors shaped by nutrition knowledge, environmental awareness, and socio-cultural influences. Enhancing sustainability-oriented educational interventions within youth sport settings may support both performance-related outcomes and the development of environmental responsibility.
