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

Introduction: Nutritional knowledge is a recognized determinant of dietary behaviors, though its impact may vary with sociodemographic and lifestyle factors. To capture such interactions and population variability, advanced methods like moderation and latent class analyses are needed. This study aimed to examine the relationship between nutritional knowledge and diet quality among Polish adults, accounting for socioeconomic determinants, and to identify subgroups at risk of poorer dietary patterns. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted using data from two nationally representative surveys (2017-2020), totaling 4,000 adults. Nutritional knowledge was measured with the validated KomPAN questionnaire, and diet quality was assessed with the Diet Quality Index (DQI). Associations were tested via linear regression, moderation analysis explored interactions between knowledge and demographics, and latent class analysis (LCA) identified dietary lifestyle subgroups. Results: The mean DQI score was -0.79 (SD = 13.40). Higher nutritional knowledge ( Conclusion: Nutritional knowledge supports better diet quality but may not suffice especially in older adults. Tailored public health strategies are needed for vulnerable groups, including younger men with low knowledge and those with higher socioeconomic status but poor diets.
