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. 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: The effective utilization of nutrition labels on prepackaged foods can facilitate the cultivation of healthful dietary behaviors among college students, thereby mitigating the risk of chronic non-communicable diseases. The study assessed the ability of college students in China's economically and educationally highly developed provinces to use food nutrition labels and explored the associated factors affecting the awareness of food nutrition labels. Methods: A crosssectional study was conducted among college students enrolled in five higher education institutions in China. This study used a structured questionnaire method to collect data, descriptive statistics, and multivariate logistic regression to analyze and process the data. Results: 71.8% of college students had low awareness of food nutrition labeling. Awareness of food nutrition labeling was positively correlated with the degree of need (OR: 1.903; 95% Cl: 1.513-2.394), frequency of use (OR: 1.780; 95% Cl: 1.537-2.062), and trust (OR: 1.113; 95% Cl: 1.009-1.229), and was negatively correlated with the study of nutrition courses (OR: 0.655; 95% Cl: 0.528-0.812). The most important way for college students to acquire knowledge about food nutrition labeling was online videos (52.4%, Conclusion: In light of our finding, we propose a reform of the existing nutrition education system to enhance nutritional awareness among college students through a more diversified set of instructional approaches and the implementation of compulsory nutrition education at an earlier stage. Leveraging popular media platforms to widely distribute professing nutritional information during daily public nutrition education is also advised.
