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
Introduction: As global awareness of environmental challenges grows, integrating sustainability into clinical nutrition practices is essential to support both human and planetary health. Within healthcare systems internationally there are a number of barriers to enhanced sustainability which need to be understood, in order for them to be overcome. Method: A bespoke questionnaire-based survey was developed and disseminated internationally to healthcare professionals working in the sphere of clinical nutrition. Quantitative and qualitative analysis was performed on the recorded responses. Included within the survey was the Sustainability Attitudes Scale (SAS). Results: A total of 126 responses were collated from 18 countries worldwide. Dietitians comprised the largest represented profession with 35%, followed by doctors 32%. There was a strong opinion that sustainability in a very important aspect of respondents considerations, both in and outside of their working lives. 99% stated they would be in support of changes aimed at making their clinical practice less harmful to the environment. 87% stated that they had never received any formal training in improving sustainability, with a lack of knowledge or experience being recognized as a significant barrier to sustainability focused working practices. 4% stated that it would not be acceptable to consider bearing the potential higher financial cost. Conclusion: The findings highlight a clear enthusiasm among clinical nutrition professionals for integrating sustainability into practice, despite widespread gaps in formal training and knowledge. Addressing these educational and systemic barriers is crucial to empowering healthcare providers to adopt environmentally responsible approaches.
