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

objectiveThis study aimed to evaluate the association between food addiction (FA), food environment and consumption of ultra-processed foods (UPF) in socially vulnerable women.

designA population-based cross-sectional study was conducted in Favelas and Urban Communities of Maceió-Brazil. The availability of UPF in the food environment was evaluated through the audit of retailers with the support of the AUDITNOVA instrument. The women taking part in the study were interviewed, and a 24-hour food recall was used to assess the proportion of UPF in their diet. The modified Yale Food Addiction Scale 2.0 was also used to determine FA. Association analysis was performed using binary logistic regression and generalised estimation equations.

participants1702 adult women of reproductive age (20-44 years) residents in Favelas and Urban Communities.

resultsIt was found that 14·6 % of the women had FA. The adjusted multivariate association analysis showed that the high availability of UPF in food retail increased the chance of women having FA by up to 47 % (

conclusionsThe environment and what is available in it are associated with additive behaviour independent of individual factors, and UPF consumption increases the chance of FA. This demonstrates the need for changes in the food environment in Brazilian favelas, contributing to improving women's health.
