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

objectiveTo measure the effects of health-related food taxes on the environmental impact of consumer food purchases in a virtual supermarket.

designThis is a secondary analysis of data from a randomised controlled trial in which participants were randomly assigned to a control condition with regular food prices (

settingThree-dimensional virtual supermarket.

participantsDutch adults (≥ 18 years) who were responsible for grocery shopping in their household (

resultsGHG emissions (-7·6 kg CO

conclusionsA nutrient profiling tax based on Nutri-Score reduced the environmental impact of consumer food purchases. An SSB tax did not affect the environmental impact in this study.
