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

Spices and herbs have demonstrated potential for improving health outcomes and the acceptability of healthy dietary options in the general public and in school-aged children. However, the use of spices and herbs in healthcare settings has not been explored or tested. This report outlines preliminary research indicating the need for dietary cultural inclusivity in healthcare settings, and it describes 2 efforts led by researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign to improve dietary cultural inclusivity in nutrition services and menu offerings in healthcare settings through increased use of spices and herbs. These efforts have involved expanding awareness and knowledge of spices and herbs, and self-efficacy in using them, among clinicians, patients, and their caregivers through an educational workshop and a novel web-based platform providing nutritional knowledge support.
