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 differences in the evolution of purchasing food for consumption away from home between urban and rural areas of Brazil, from 2002 to 2018.
methodsPopulation data from 245,711 adults (25-59 years old) from the Consumer Expenditure Survey, of the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics, of 2002-2003, 2008-2009, and 2017-2018 were used. The foods were grouped into ten nutritional and marketing categories and the frequency of purchasing food for consumption outside the home was compared according to urban and rural areas of Brazil and geographic regions of the country. Differences between areas were considered when the 95% confidence intervals of the estimates did not overlap.
resultsWe found an increase in the purchase of food for consumption outside the home in urban areas between 2002-2003 and 2008-2009, followed by a reduction in 2017-2018. In rural areas, the frequency remained stable over the years. Regarding the food groups, there was a reduction in the purchase of soft drinks and alcoholic beverages and an increase in the frequency of meals away from home. The differences between urban and rural areas varied according to the regions of Brazil.
conclusionThe purchase of food for consumption outside the home between 2002 and 2018 was different in urban and rural areas of the country; nevertheless, the rural area is approaching the urban area. These results highlight the new context of rural life and the need to evaluate eating behaviors in this area.
