An Overlap Between "Ultraprocessed" Foods and the Preexisting Nutrient Rich Foods Index?
Article in Nutrition today. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 27 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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.
Who cites it
27 citing papers in PubMed, 1 synthesis or guideline pooled it, 54 citations in OpenAlex.

Abstract
The category of "ultra-processed" foods in the NOVA food classification scheme is ostensibly based on industrial processing. We compared NOVA category assignments with the pre-existing family of Nutrient Rich Food (NRF) indices, first developed in 2005. NRF
