Nutrition literacy and salt reduction measures: a mediating role of salt reduction intention.
Article in Frontiers in nutrition, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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: Excessive salt intake is a public health issue, posing considerable risks to individuals' health. Various salt reduction strategies are being implemented globally. Nutrition literacy (NL) enables people to make well-informed food decisions that impact their well-being. Individual's behavior is primarily shaped by their intentions, which, in turn, are influenced by their knowledge and attitudes regarding the action. The current study aims to estimate the relationships between NL and salt reduction measures and examine whether the intention to reduce salt intake mediates these relationships. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study conducted among adults in Bengbu, China. NL was assessed using a twelve-item short-form NL scale. Salt reduction measures and intention were identified through questionnaires. A binary logistic regression model was applied to calculate the odds ratio ( Results: Overall, 50.7% of participants indicated implementing salt reduction measures, with 32.5% indicating a strong intention to do so. NL showed a significant positive association with the salt reduction intention ( Conclusion: NL is positively associated with salt reduction measures, and salt reduction intention partially mediate their associations. These findings underscore the need for NL-targeted interventions or programs that enhance individuals' intention to adopt salt reduction measures within the Chinese population.
