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: Diet is a key modifiable risk factor for chronic diseases, yet reliable assessment remains challenging. Ecological momentary dietary assessment applications, such as Traqq, enable real-time reporting, reducing recall errors and respondent burden compared with traditional methods. Originally developed in the Netherlands, Traqq requires cultural and linguistic adaptation before its use in other countries. Objectives: This study aimed to adapt Traqq to the Spanish context and evaluate its usability and accuracy for assessing habitual food group intake using random 2-h recalls (2hRs) compared with a validated food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) in Spanish adults. Methods: Traqq was adapted using a standardized approach, including the development of a country-specific food list linked to local food composition data (Base de Datos Española de Composición de Alimentos, US Department of Agriculture, local dishes), portion sizes (Centro de Enseñanza Superior de Nutrición y Dietética), interface translation, and pilot testing with refinement. The Spanish version was evaluated in 112 students at the University of the Balearic Islands. Participants completed repeated random 2hRs over 4 wk and an adapted FFQ. Agreement between methods was assessed using Wilcoxon signed-rank tests, Spearman correlations, quartile cross-classification, and Bland-Altman plots. Usability was evaluated using the System Usability Scale (SUS). Results: Seventy-nine participants were included in the analysis (mean age 24.9 ± 6.7 y; 73% female; 77% healthy body mass index; 67% not following a specific diet). Correlations between methods were good for most food groups ( Conclusions: Traqq was successfully adapted for Spanish younger adults, demonstrating good agreement with a validated FFQ and high usability, supporting its use for real-time dietary assessment in this population.
