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

Understanding the food trading network is crucial for optimizing resource allocation, maintaining stability in the food system, and safeguarding food security. However, as one of the world's largest agricultural producers, there is a dearth of publicly available data sources pertaining to China's interprovincial physical food trade. Here, we developed a dataset of interprovincial physical food flows in Chinese mainland for the period 2000-2022, using the trade gravity model with the integration of food supply, food demand, and transportation data. This dataset includes 15 key types of plant-based and animal-based food products and represents the longest time series covering the most extensive variety of food products to date on China's food trade patterns. The dataset reveals changes in dietary structures and trade patterns across regions within China since the 21st century. This work provides a methodological framework and dataset that could support studies on virtual resources flow, agri-environmental impact assessment, and food policy formulation across various food categories and regions.
