1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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: Sustainability is the main concept shaping Turkey's development plans. Adherence to healthy and sustainable diets can significantly contribute to development goals. Based on the sustainability agenda, we aimed to determine the level of sustainable food literacy among adults. We also evaluated the effect of Mediterranean diet adherence and healthy eating attitude on sustainable food literacy. Methods: A survey form containing scales for sustainable food literacy (SFLS), adherence to the Mediterranean diet (MEDAS), and attitudes toward healthy eating (ASHN) was administered to 319 Turkish adults aged 19-40. Results: 40% of individuals have a low SFLS score, while 55% have a low MEDAS score. Gender affects SFLS scores, with men scoring lower (β = -0.31, Conclusion: Female gender and positive nutritional attitudes are major predictors of sustainable food literacy. Educational programs should be instituted to redefine gender roles, promote male engagement in environmental sustainability through the equitable distribution of domestic tasks, and positively influence individuals' attitudes toward healthy eating. The observation that persons possessing high sustainable food literacy do not completely conform to the Mediterranean diet underscores the necessity to identify and address the issues beyond knowledge that hinder adherence to this dietary regimen through policy interventions.
