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

Background: This study assessed dietary greenhouse gas emission (GHGE), land use (LU), and water footprint (WFP) among Bavarian residents while exploring sociodemographic characteristics, food consumption patterns, sustainability beliefs, and behaviors across GHGE quintiles. Methods and design: The 3rd Bavarian Food Consumption Survey (BVS III) was conducted from October 2021 to January 2023, involving participants aged 18-75 years. The study employed demographic weighting to represent the Bavarian population. Dietary data ( Results: In Bavaria, the average dietary GHGE is 6.14 kg CO Conclusion: This study provided a view of dietary sustainability metrics in Bavaria. Considering energy-adjusted diets, higher emissions are associated with being female, having a higher waist circumference, and following an omnivorous diet. Increased consumption of animal products, coffee, and tea contributed to greater environmental impacts.
