Trend of Ultraprocessed Product Intake Is Associated with the Double Burden of Malnutrition in Mexican Children and Adolescents.
Article in Nutrients, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
backgroundUltraprocessed products (UPPs) have been associated with unfavorable health outcomes; however, until now, they have not been associated with the coexistence of undernutrition and overnutrition, known as the double burden of malnutrition (DBM) at the individual level.
methodsCross-sectional analyses were performed on data collected from children and adolescents participating in the 2006 and 2016 Mexican National Health and Nutrition Surveys. The food and beverages reported in the food frequency questionnaire (SFFQ) were classified as UPPs as defined by the NOVA classification system. Associations of UPPs with anemia, excess weight, and the DBM were estimated with logistic regression models. A pseudo-panel was generated using the cohorts of children born from 1997 to 2001 to estimate the effect of the UPPs on anemia, excess weight, and the DBM.
resultsThe consumption of UPPs (% energy) was higher in 2016 (children 30.1% and adolescents 28.3%) than in 2006 (children 27.3% and adolescents 23.0%) in both age-groups. The higher contribution of UPPs was positively associated with excess weight and the DBM in children's lower tertile of socioeconomic status (SES) and the DBM in higher tertile of SES in adolescents. The pseudo-panel analysis shows the positive association between UPPs and DBM in lower SES.
conclusionsThese results provide evidence of the association between the consumption of UPPs and the DBM and excess weight in children and adolescents.
