The Healthy Food Environment Policy Index in Poland: Implementation Gaps and Actions for Improvement.
Article in Foods (Basel, Switzerland), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundPoland is facing the growing problem of overweight and obesity in the population, which makes it necessary to conduct a thorough assessment of the existing food environment policies. The aims of the study were: (1) to depict the strength of healthy food environment policies in Poland and identify implementation policies and infrastructure support gaps; (2) to identify and prioritise improvement policies, taking into account their importance, achievability and equity.
methodsWe used the Healthy Food Environment Policy Index (Food-EPI). An experts' panel rated Polish policies and infrastructure compared to international best practices and developed a list of recommended improvement actions addressing both components.
resultseight of the twenty-two policy and four of the twenty-two infrastructure indicators achieved the "no/very weak policy" result. Another four policy and five infrastructure indicators were considered "weak". Another seven and eight indicators, respectively, were assessed as "moderate". Among the identified actions, the highest priority was given to a food labelling system and training for persons involved in nutrition in schools.
conclusionsThe Polish healthy food environment has been assessed as very weak or weak in most aspects. The infrastructure was assessed as slightly better compared to the policies domain, with more indicators receiving the "moderate" score.
