Social and demographic factors associated with sports nutrition knowledge and food habits among university athletes.

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
Background: Sports nutrition knowledge (SNK) and food habits (FH) among university athletes may be influenced by various social, demographic, and training-related factors. However, evidence regarding how these factors relate to SNK and FH remains limited and inconsistent in university sport settings. Objective: This study aimed to examine the social and demographic factors associated with SNK and FH among university athletes and to investigate the relationship between SNK and FH. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 89 university athletes who completed validated questionnaires assessing SNK and FH. Descriptive statistics were calculated, and Pearson's correlation coefficient, independent Results: A small but statistically significant positive correlation was found between SNK and FH ( Conclusion: Social, demographic, and training-related factors appear to play a role in shaping SNK and FH among university athletes. Although SNK was modestly associated with healthier food habits, knowledge alone may not be sufficient to promote optimal dietary behaviors. These findings highlight the importance of structured nutrition education programs that address both nutrition knowledge and the broader social and practical factors influencing healthy eating within university sport environments.
