Development and preliminary validation of the nutrition literacy scale for type 2 diabetes mellitus in China-a mixed methods study.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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: Nutrition literacy is an important predictor of eating behavior in patients with type 2 diabetes. However, current methods lack rigorously validated tools to assess nutrient literacy in this group. Therefore, the aim of this study was to develop and validate the Nutrition Literacy Scale for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methods: This study was divided into two phases, including the generation of the items and the validation of the scales. The generation of the items was developed through a literature study, semi-structured interviews, a Delphi expert consultation, and a small-sample pre-survey. Convenience sampling method was used to select a large sample of 576 patients in Hangzhou for item analysis, reliability and validity tests. Results: The formal scale covered 4 dimensions with 31 items. The exploratory factor analysis extracted four common factors with a cumulative variance contribution of 62.725%; the results of the confirmatory factor analysis showed that the model fit was good, the content validity of the scale was 0.957. The calibration correlation validity of the newly developed scale with the Adult Nutrition Literacy Measurement Scale was 0.760. Cronbach's Conclusion: The nutrition literacy scale for people with type 2 diabetes has good reliability and validity and is suitable for assessing the level of nutrition literacy in relevant populations.
