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

The consumption of processed foods is increasingly widespread and could have an impact on diet quality and health. Understanding the factors influencing people's eating habits is useful for assessing such impact. There are limited data on the consumption patterns of processed foods and associated factors influencing the dietary patterns in Singapore. This cross-sectional study based on a food frequency questionnaire aimed to examine how the consumption of processed foods among 2079 Singapore residents aged 18 to 89 years varies with sociodemographic factors. The analysis of the consumption by processed food groups showed that the studied factors, i.e., age, gender, ethnicity, housing and health status, all contributed to differences in processed food consumption to varying extents, with ethnicity being the key factor driving the variation. Such differences were also confirmed to a limited degree by determining another measure of consumption, i.e., a processed food variety score. The findings in this study could inform further work in relation to dietary risks.
