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

Food safety training is a cornerstone of foodborne disease prevention in collective catering, particularly in settings serving vulnerable populations. This study aimed to assess baseline food safety knowledge and evaluate the effectiveness of a food safety training session among food handlers employed in school cafeterias and residential care facilities (RSAs) collective catering. A pre-post design was applied to 168 participants who completed a structured knowledge questionnaire before and after training. At baseline, only 31% of participants achieved a passing score. Knowledge levels were significantly associated with primary job role (
