Dietary salt intake in Japan - past, present, and future.
Review in Hypertension research : official journal of the Japanese Society of Hypertension, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 29 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
Salt reduction is the most important lifestyle modification, especially in Japanese individuals who still consume a significant amount of salt. The Dietary Reference Intakes for Japanese 2020, issued by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, propose a salt intake goal of <7.5 g/day for men and <6.5 g/day for women. Regarding the goal of salt reduction in hypertensive patients, the hypertension guideline by the Japanese Society of Hypertension 2019 (JSH2019) proposes a goal of <6 g/day. Although the average salt intake in Japan gradually decreased in the early 2000s, the declining trend has not been seen in recent years, and thus, it seems difficult to achieve these target salt intake levels. To overcome this challenge, the JSH announced the 'JSH Tokyo Declaration' and pledged to create a specific action plan to achieve the target salt intake level of <6 g/day. The six strategies to achieve the target salt intake level are as follows: (1) educating citizens on the harms of excessive salt intake and the importance of reducing salt intake; (2) recommending the assessment of the salt intake of individuals or populations and proposing adequate methods to reduce salt intake; (3) promoting salt reduction for children as a part of dietary education at school; (4) promoting salt reduction in takeout food, prepared dishes, canteens, and school lunches; (5) encouraging companies to develop and promote low-salt foods; and (6) encouraging the government to take measures to promote salt reduction. Through these activities, a society with a low salt intake will be expected in the near future.
