Despite evidence that nutrition can play a substantial role in curbing the burden of chronic disease, findings reported literature have been plagued with debate and uncertainty, including questions about confidence we place from observational studies, validity dietary intake data, applicability randomised trials to real-world patients or members public. Structured users’ guides (NUGs) evaluate common research study designs (ie, trials, cohort systematic reviews clinical practice guidelines) addressing will help clinicians their patients, as well health service workers policy-makers, use make more informed decisions on disease management prevention. In addition, NUGs provide comprehensive teaching materials for trainees how appraise, interpret apply evidence. We hereby introduce series structured nutrients, foods patterns programmes. Each article address three key components when assessing different used assess interventions exposures, (1) methodological quality study, (2) interpreting results (magnitude precision treatment exposure effects outcomes benefit harm) (3) applying unique patient population scenarios based health-related values preferences related potential benefits, harms, convenience cost an intervention. This articles serve empower clinicians, policy-makers better understand validity, interpretability literature, while also helping practitioners clients evidence-based, value-sensitive preference-sensitive decisions.
