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/

objectivesEarly childhood is a critical period for establishing lifelong dietary patterns, and early learning environments play a central role in shaping children's eating behaviors. However, many childhood educators receive limited training in evidence-based nutrition practices. This study evaluated the impact of the Feeding Brighter Futures workshop, an experiential, case-based training intervention, on participants' nutrition-related knowledge, perceptions, and attitudes.

methodsUsing a pre-post survey design, undergraduate and graduate students, faculty, and staff (

resultsResults showed a statistically significant increase in agreement that teachers should only consume snacks available to children and further strengthening of already positive attitudes toward involving children in snack preparation. Attitudes toward using food as a reward did not significantly change.

conclusionsThese findings suggest that brief experiential training may improve alignment with evidence-based nutrition practices, though further research with larger samples is warranted.
