Healthy vending contracts: Do localized policy approaches improve the nutrition environment in publicly funded recreation and sport facilities?
Article in Preventive medicine reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
This study explored the influence of healthy vending contracts (HVC) on the nutritional quality of vending machine products in 46 Canadian publicly funded recreation and sport facilities. A quasi-experimental comparison design was used to examine the difference in nutritional quality of snack and beverage vending machine products at baseline (December 2015-May 2016) and 18-month follow-up. Staff Surveys assessed facility contract type (HVC or conventional) and vending machine audits identified product nutritional quality. Products were categorized by provincial guidelines as Do Not Sell (DNS), Sell Sometimes (SS) or Sell Most (SM). ANOVA compared categories cross-sectionally (HVC vs conventional) and repeated measures ANOVA compared them longitudinally (HVC-HVC, vs conventional-conventional and conventional-HVC). Approximately one quarter of contracts (24% beverage and 28% snack) had health stipulations at baseline or follow-up. Cross-sectionally, facilities with HVC at any time period had significantly lower percentage DNS (beverage: 56% vs 73%,
