Visual perceptions of portion size normality and intended food consumption: A norm range model.
Article in Food quality and preference, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
•Smaller portion sizes are associated with lower energy intake.•We test a norm range model of the portion size effect on intended intake.•A wide range of portion sizes were perceived as normal.•Portions perceived as normal did not prompt intended compensatory eating.•Portions perceived as smaller than normal prompted intended compensation.
