Nutrition knowledge among adolescents who participate in sports: a cross-sectional study from Vancouver, Canada.
Article in Frontiers in nutrition, 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
Background: Adequate nutrition, defined as meeting energy and nutrient requirements to support sport-related needs, metabolic function, and growth, is critical for adolescent (14-18 years) athletic performance and health. Many adolescents do not meet current nutrition recommendations and report poor awareness of their nutrient needs (i.e., nutrition knowledge), though trends may differ between male and female adolescents. Most evidence is derived from the United States, with limited data from Canadian populations. The aim of this study was to assess sport nutrition knowledge among male and female adolescents participating in organized sport in the Greater Vancouver area (Canada). Methods: Adolescents participating in organized sport completed an online questionnaire that collected information on their sport participation, nutrition support and nutrition knowledge using the validated Abridged Nutrition for Sport Knowledge Questionnaire (A-NSKQ; 35 items). Descriptive statistics were generated, and independent samples t-tests assessed sex differences. Multivariable linear regression models were used to compare nutrition knowledge scores between sexes while adjusting for age and sports participation characteristics. Results: Fifty-one adolescents participated ( Conclusion: Adolescent athletes in this Greater Vancouver sample demonstrated poor nutrition knowledge, with no differences between sexes. Limited access to dietitians and structured education suggests a need for improved sport nutrition education to support health and athletic development.
