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
issue addressedLocal government (LG) facilities such as libraries, clubs and sport and recreation centres generally offer and promote nutritionally poor foods that may contribute to excess energy intake. It is unclear what effect exposure to a healthy food retail initiative may have on customer and staff support for such changes. This study investigated the association of a healthy drink intervention in LG-owned sporting facilities on changes in (i) intervention LG attitudes and facility healthy food and drink provision, compared to control LGs; and (ii) intervention LG customer and staff support for the intervention.
methodsEight Victorian LGs implemented a two-year intervention to limit sugary drink availability in LG-owned sporting facilities. At baseline (2018) and follow-up (2020), attitudinal surveys were sent to intervention LG staff (baseline: n = 162; follow-up: n = 183) and customers (baseline: n = 1079; follow-up: n = 1188), and policy surveys were sent to all state LGs. Baseline and follow-up responses, and policy survey responses between 8 intervention and 24 control LGs were compared using logistic regression.
resultsIntervention LGs' baseline priorities for promoting healthy eating were higher than control LGs, with no change in priorities at follow-up. Intervention LG staff and customers' belief that sporting facilities should promote healthy eating remained high between baseline (customers 79%; staff 76%) and follow-up (customers 75%; staff: 73%).
conclusionsFacility staff and customers support interventions to align sporting facilities' healthy lifestyle message with healthier food environments. SO WHAT?: LG prioritisation of healthy eating appears to be a prerequisite for LG healthy drink policies.
