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

In the context of economic crises and inflationary pressures, consumers often rely on discounted food products to manage their monthly budgets. This study aims to explore how socio-demographic factors are associated with Romanian consumers' perception of food promotions. Data were collected from 1060 respondents, and the analysis was conducted using R version 4.4.2, applying both descriptive and inferential statistical methods, including Pearson's chi-square test and multinomial logistic regression. The Pearson's chi-square test revealed significant differences in consumer responses based on all socio-demographic factors examined, except for residence. Males, married individuals, those with higher education, and higher net incomes were generally more cautious about promotions, while younger consumers (aged 18-24) showed greater receptiveness. The multinomial logistic regression further identified significant predictors and estimated their impact on consumers' perception of food promotions. We found that
