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

BACKGROUND AND

objectivesNutrient Reference Values (NRVs) play an important role in nutrition labeling and nutrition and health claims based on scientific data. This study, with a global perspective, reviewed recent trends in NRVs for adults and their establishment for infants and toddlers. METHODS AND STUDY

designWe searched for laws and regulations on official government websites for nutrition labeling in the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, China, South Korea, Japan, the Codex Committee, and the European Union.

resultsNRV revisions have been made in the United States, Canada, and South Korea. In the United States and Canada, NRVs for most nutrients, including macronutrients, vitamins, and minerals, were revised in 2016, reflecting updated Dietary Reference Intakes and new scientific findings. NRVs for infants and toddlers have already been formulated in the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and South Korea and are used for nutrition labeling. However, concerns have been raised regarding the labeling of all foods with NRVs for infants and toddlers, which may result in challenges in distinguishing foods formulated under different standards as appropriate for infants and toddlers.

conclusionsThis study highlights recent general NRV revisions and formulation status for infants and toddlers. This provides useful information for determining the basis for future updates and the development of NRVs in various countries.
