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
backgroundConsideration of sex and gender in nutrition research is needed to inform best practice interventions and policy. It is unknown how nutrition and dietetic journals comply with sex and gender reporting guidelines.
objectiveTo determine if female representation and adherence to sex and gender guidelines across the leading nutrition and dietetic journals have changed between 2012 and 2022.
designQuantitative analysis of articles published in 10 nutrition and dietetic journals was conducted. We screened a random sample of at least 100 articles per journal and year, aiming to include 50 randomly selected articles published in 2012 and 50 published in 2022 per journal. Articles were included if they were original research, conducted in humans, and focused on nutrition. Review articles and those focused on sex-specific conditions were excluded.
methodsData were compiled on the proportion of female participants in published studies and compliance with the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) guidelines relating to sex and gender. Changes in compliance with ICMJE guidelines between 2012 and 2022 were assessed using chi-square tests.
resultsA total of 812 articles (402 in 2012, 410 in 2022) were included. Female representation was 56% in both years. Increases in adherence to ICMJE guidelines included reporting of sex and/or gender (90% in 2012 to 94% in 2022,
conclusionGreater inclusion of sex and gender considerations in nutrition research is required to inform best practice interventions.
