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: The consumption of ultra-processed foods (UPFs) is increasing globally and has become a prominent public health concern. We aimed to use a population-based study to examine the association between food literacy (FL) and its two subdomains with UPF consumption in adolescents. Methods: The online survey included 7,761 adolescents aged 11-17 from Chongqing, China. UPF consumption degree was assessed by the unhealthy eating subscale of the Healthy and Unhealthy Eating Behaviors Scale (HUEBS). FL was measured using the Food Nutrition Literacy in School-age Children (FNLQ-SC) questionnaire. FL and the two subdomains were categorized into quartiles, and linear regression was used to examine the association between them. Results: In fully adjusted regression models, the regression coefficients Conclusion: This study suggests that high FL and the two subdomains were linked with a lower UPF consumption score in adolescents. Increasing FL among adolescents has the potential to enhance their decision-making on eating.
