1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Considerable science links diets lower in sodium and sugar-sweetened beverage consumption with better health outcomes. This study describes the evaluation process and outcomes of intervention strategies to reduce sodium in foods and sugar in beverages as part of a collaborative partnership between state public health, academic, community, and healthcare partners in Massachusetts, US. This quasi-experimental, pre-post study used nutrient data linked to observations of foods and beverages available in cafeterias and vending machines in four community healthcare settings to inform intervention strategies and evaluate changes. At post-assessment, beverages with no or very low sugar were significantly more prevalent in vending machines (OR = 1.93, p < 0.001) and cafeterias (OR = 1.83, p = 0.01) and low-sodium packaged foods were significantly more prevalent in cafeterias (OR = 2.45, p < 0.001), but not vending machines. These types of partnerships and tailored feedback and technical assistance strategies may support healthier food and beverage options within healthcare settings that serve patients, their families, and employees each day.
