Sustainable dietary behavior and food choices among sport sciences students: a cross-sectional study within the theory of planned behavior.

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: Sustainable food consumption addresses global environmental challenges and safeguards long-term public health. Understanding how sustainability awareness translates into dietary practices is particularly important among young populations. Objective: This study examined the mediating role of sustainable dietary behavior in the relationship between sustainable consumption tendencies and sustainable food consumption behavior among sport sciences university students, using the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) as a partial framework. Methods: A cross-sectional design was applied with 414 Erciyes University Faculty of Sport Sciences students. Data were collected through the Sustainable Consumption Scale, Sustainable Nutrition Behavior Scale, and Sustainable Food Consumption Behavior Scale. Mediation analysis was performed using PROCESS Macro Model 4 with 5,000 bootstrap samples to test indirect effects. Results: Sustainable dietary behavior significantly mediated the association between sustainable consumption and sustainable food consumption behavior (indirect effect = 0.10, 95% CI [0.04, 0.15]). Sub-dimensions such as seasonal and local food choices and waste reduction are strongly linked with sustainable food consumption. Conclusion: The findings suggest that fostering sustainable dietary behaviors is crucial for converting sustainability awareness into concrete dietary practices. University students constitute a key target group for public health and sustainability initiatives, and interventions should emphasize education, accessibility, and awareness to reinforce behavior-based change.
