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

Introduction: Nutrition knowledge is crucial for athletes' performance and health, yet data on Hungarian athletes are limited. Methods: This study assessed sport nutrition knowledge and its influencing factors among 1,335 athletes (132 elite, 1,203 recreational; 54.3% male; mean age = 22.74 ± 8.11 years) using the Hungarian Abridged Nutrition for Sport Knowledge Questionnaire (ANSKQ-HU) alongside sociodemographic, sport-related, and perception-based variables. Analyses included Kruskal-Wallis Results: Overall, 63.37% of athletes scored in the poor nutrition knowledge category (< 50%). No significant differences were observed by gender, sport level or prior nutrition education. Education level significantly affected sports nutrition knowledge, with higher-educated participants showing better fundamental and overall understanding than those with primary education. These findings were independent of training frequency and age, with medium Discussion: Our findings highlight the need for structured nutrition education and dietitian access in sports organizations. Importantly, as the data were collected exclusively from Hungarian athletes, these results reflect country-specific characteristics and should be interpreted within the Hungarian sport and educational context.
