Dietary Patterns and Sociodemographic Determinants of Underweight and Excess Body Weight Among Nursing Students in Southern Thailand.
Article in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
(1) Background: The double burden of malnutrition (DBM) occurs at the population level when undernutrition and overweight or obesity coexist. In this study, DBM was operationalized as BMI-defined underweight and excess body weight (EBW) within the sampled student population. (2) Objective: To identify dietary patterns and examine their associations with sociodemographic and health behavior factors among underweight and EBW nursing students in Southern Thailand. (3) Methods: This secondary analysis used cross-sectional data collected from 372 undergraduate nursing students in 2023. Dietary intake was assessed using a food frequency questionnaire; principal component analysis identified dietary patterns, and separate multivariable linear regression models examined associations with pattern scores in the underweight and EBW subgroups. (4) Results: Underweight and EBW were present in 22.0% and 26.3% of students, respectively. The snack pattern comprised milk and milk products, sweetened beverages, bakery items, desserts, pickled fruits, and snacks; the Thai dish pattern comprised rice, spicy curry, meat, entree-over-rice dishes, and vegetables; and the high-energy pattern comprised sticky rice and fried meat. Among underweight students, Thai dish scores were positively associated with year of study (
