Qualities of Effective Nutrition Education Interventions in Athletes: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Review in International journal of exercise science, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Nutrition knowledge (NK) is consistently reported as low among athletes, potentially limiting optimal dietary intake, performance, recovery, and overall health outcomes. Sports dietitians have a responsibility to provide effective nutrition education and increase NK in athletes. Nutrition education interventions have been shown to improve NK, but practical application standards for designing and conducting nutrition interventions in athletes has yet to be established. The purpose of this meta-analysis is to measure the overall effect of nutrition education interventions on NK in athletes and identify characteristics of nutrition education interventions that effectively increase NK. Seven databases (Academic Search Premier, SPORTDiscus, MEDLINE, ERIC, Health Source: Nursing/Academic Edition, CINAHL Plus with Full Text, and Consumer Health Complete) were searched, yielding 125 studies. Fourteen studies met inclusion criteria and represented 755 athletes (ages 10-32) from various sports. SPSS was utilized to perform the meta-analysis with a random-effects model and DerSimonian-Laird procedure, and effect size (ES) estimates were expressed as Hedges'
