Experiential learning for nutrition literacy of school-aged children: a study protocol of cluster randomized controlled trial.
Article in BMC public health, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundThe global increase in childhood and adolescent obesity presents a critical public health challenge. Nutrition literacy, which refers to the ability to acquire, understand, and apply nutritional information, has the potential to address this issue. The study aims to evaluate the effects of a newly developed experiential learning intervention on improving nutrition literacy among school-aged children.
methodsThis cluster-randomized controlled trial targets third and fourth-grade students (aged 8 to 10 years) in Nanshan District, Shenzhen City China. The study will span three months and involves eight primary schools, which are randomly assigned to the intervention or control groups in a 1:1 ratio. The experiential learning-based intervention mainly includes experiential classroom activities, practical nutritional activities, family healthy eating recording and daily nutrition health education. Control groups receive standard nutritional education provided by the schools. Data collection occurs at baseline and post-intervention, focusing on nutrition literacy and children’s dietary habits using the “Food and Nutrition Literacy Questionnaire for Chinese School-aged Children” (FNLQ-SC) and Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ). DISCUSSION: This intervention integrates interactive classroom activities, practical skill development, and family involvement. It aims to improve children’s nutrition literacy and dietary habits, potentially mitigating childhood obesity and related chronic diseases.
