Factors influencing nutrition care process and nutrition care process terminology implementation among United States dietetics educators and preceptors.
Article in Frontiers in nutrition, 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
Objective: Identify variables associated with Nutrition Care Process (NCP) and Terminology (NCPT) implementation among United States dietetics educators and preceptors using an online survey. Methods: The survey was developed using validated tools and distributed via email using a university-hosted Qualtrics platform. Participants were recruited through a mixed sampling strategy including randomized outreach, voluntary participation, and snowball sampling. Data were screened for incomplete responses and outliers prior to inferential analyses. Relationships between relevant variables and implementation intention were analyzed using tests selected based on parametric assumptions. Results: Of 266 responses, 104 were excluded due to declining consent (2), ineligibility (96), or survey noncompletion (6), yielding a final sample of 162 participants: 89 educators (55%), 52 preceptors (32%), and 21 educator-preceptors (13%). Level of education, Conclusion: Attitude, perceived competency, assessed proficiency, education level, and Academy membership were significantly associated with NCP/T implementation, demonstrating small-to-medium effects. Although not statistically significant, preceptors showed lower implementation rates and significantly lower MAS and PS than educators. Educators and preceptors working in outpatient settings may be particularly vulnerable to implementation barriers, highlighting the need for targeted support to promote consistent, evidence-informed NCP/T use.
