Food Consumption Trends in Japanese Children and Adolescents: The National Health and Nutrition Survey, 2001-2019.
Article in Foods (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundWhile unhealthy dietary trends, such as elevated confectionery consumption and decreased fruit intake, have been documented in adults, the longitudinal patterns of food consumption during childhood remain inadequately characterized. This study aimed to describe national trends in food group intakes among children and adolescents in Japan.
methodsData on participants aged 1-19 years in the National Health and Nutrition Survey from 2001 to 2019 (
resultsDecreasing trends in the intakes of animal-based foods, potatoes and starches, sugars and sweeteners, fruits (annual percentage change [APC] range: -5.04 to -0.62), algae, fish and shellfish (APC range: -3.22 to -2.02), eggs, milks, fats and oils, and confectionery were observed, while intakes of meats (APC range: 1.02 to 1.92) and beverages (APC range: 1.36 to 2.51) increased. Consumption of plant-based foods, cereals, legumes, nuts and seeds, vegetables, and mushrooms was mostly unchanged, whereas variable intakes of seasonings and spices were observed.
conclusionsThis study showed that the intakes of many food groups (e.g., fruits, fish and shellfish, and milk) decreased among children and adolescents, but some increased (e.g., meats and beverages) or remained stable (e.g., cereals and vegetables). Further evidence is needed to enable policymakers to set target interventions to improve children's diets.
