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
objectiveTo analyze the retail food environment and identify the presence of food swamps around public and private higher education institutions (HEIs) in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais.
methodsThis is an ecological study with the analysis unit being a 500-meter buffer network around 81 in-person HEI units. The density and proximity between the HEIs and food purchasing establishments for immediate consumption were assessed according to the administrative category and per capita income of the census tract, as well as the presence of food swamps.
resultsIn 98.76% of the buffers there was at least one establishment for immediate consumption. Snack bars, restaurants, and bars were the categories most available and closest to the HEIs. The density of establishments was higher around private HEIs and around HEIs located in higher income areas. It was found that 95.06% of HEIs were located in areas classified as food swamps.
conclusionThus, the HEIs evaluated were exposed to neighborhoods with an unhealthy food environment, which may predispose university students to food choices based on the consumption of ultra-processed foods and alcoholic beverages.
