[Food and nutrition surveillance actions in Brazil and Portugal: a comparative documentary analysis].
Article in Cadernos de saude publica, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Food and nutrition surveillance is fundamental to the formulation, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation of public policies on food and nutrition. The comparative analysis of the evolution of food and nutrition surveillance actions between countries makes it possible to learn about advances, challenges and innovations for the planning of interventions. This study aimed to describe and compare food and nutrition surveillance actions in Brazil and Portugal, countries with different geographical dimensions and socio-economic profiles, but with the common characteristic of having a universal healthcare system. We manually searched for documents describing food and nutrition surveillance actions and for potential data sources on the institutional websites of the Brazilian and Portuguese governments. The recommendations of the READ approach were used (59 documents were identified for Brazil and 29 for Portugal). In Brazil, food and nutrition surveillance actions are included in health policies and in the constraints of conditional cash transfer programs. The Brazilian Households Budget Surveys and health surveys are used simultaneously with the Brazilian National Food and Nutrition Surveillance System (SISVAN). In Portugal, food and nutrition surveillance actions are part of health policies, via the National Program and the Integrated Strategy for the Promotion of Healthy Eating. Among the data sources identified are the Portuguese Food Balance Sheet and household budget, health and food surveys, as well as initiatives to monitor the nutritional status of children and adolescents. In both countries, strategies need to be improved in terms of the regularity of data recording, the harmonization of food consumption indicators and the dissemination of information.
