Food purchasing places classification system based on the Dietary Guidelines for the Brazilian Population: Locais-Nova.
Article in Epidemiologia e servicos de saude : revista do Sistema Unico de Saude do Brasil, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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 propose a new classification system for food purchasing places (Locais-Nova) based on the Dietary Guidelines for the Brazilian Population.
methodsWe used 2017-2018 Brazilian Household Budgets Survey data on household food purchasing. Foods were categorized, according to the Nova classification, into unprocessed or minimally processed food, processed culinary ingredients, processed foods and ultra-processed foods. We estimated the average share of each Nova classification group in the total of grams acquired in Brazil. This estimate was compared with the average share of each Nova classification group in each of the 16 purchasing places assessed. Places were classified as "purchasing sources" for a specific Nova classification group whenever that group's share a given place was equal to or greater than the national average.
resultsLocais-Nova identified three categories of purchasing places: sources of unprocessed or minimally processed food and processed culinary ingredients, sources of processed foods and sources of ultra-processed foods. Fruits, vegetables, and farm products and butcher shops stood out as the main sources of unprocessed or minimally processed food; minimarkets and grocery stores were the main sources of ultra-processed foods; and bakeries and confectionaries, stood out as sources of processed and ultra-processed foods. Supermarkets were classified as sources of unprocessed or minimally processed food and ultra-processed foods.
conclusionThis study presented an innovative classification of food purchasing places. This reflected the recommendations of the Dietary Guidelines for the Brazilian Population and made it possible to understand food purchasing patterns in different types of purchasing places.
