Monitoring the Power of Child-Targeted Food Packaging: a Review of the Literature.
Review in Current nutrition reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
purpose of reviewGiven the need to limit unhealthy food marketing to children, more information is required around strategies for its monitoring. Child-directed food packaging, in particular, requires special consideration: packaging drives decision-making at the point-of-sale and is a powerful means of capturing children's attention. This review examines and summarizes literature that monitors the "power" (persuasive techniques) of packaging, in order to assess what these broader strategies contribute to monitoring child-targeted packaged foods. RECENT
findingsEleven relevant studies on monitoring (spanning food, tobacco, and cannabis packaging) were examined. Strategies regarding the precise measurement indicators, accurate data collection and management, and time trends analysis were identified; from this, a set of criteria for monitoring the power of packaging in retail settings was proposed. Examining literature on the monitoring of the "power" of packaging reveals the paucity of research in this area. This review details how packaging features can be effectively tracked in different contexts and over time.
