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

Background: Chronotype and temperament are stable individual traits that influence behaviors such as eating habits. This research examined their impact on an eco-sustainable diet, characterized by a high intake of plant-based foods and reduced consumption of animal products. Methods: A total of 738 Italian individuals were surveyed regarding their eating habits using a specific food frequency questionnaire. Individual chronotype was assessed via the revised Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire (rMEQ), while personality traits were measured according to the HEXACO Adjective Scales. The contribution of these factors to the adoption of an eco-sustainable diet was analyzed using hierarchical binary logistic regression. Results: In our sample, a substantial majority ( Conclusion: Both chronobiology and personality traits may significantly influence an individual's inclination toward eco-sustainable dietary choices. The intrinsic characteristics of Agreeableness and Openness to Experience, but not those associated with Honesty-Humility and Extraversion, may facilitate individuals in addressing the contextual challenges of adopting an eco-sustainable diet.
