Value-aware nutrition science: building credibility through reflexivity.
Article in European journal of nutrition, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
purposeValues can influence various aspects of scientific research, including research questions, methodologies, interpretations, and applications of scientific knowledge. Instead of pursuing value-free science, the scientific community recognizes the importance of value-aware science, which acknowledges the role of values in scientific inquiry but emphasizes transparency and accountability. Conflicts of interest statements often focus only on financial ties.
methodsWe argue for the inclusion of positionality statements in nutrition science, similar to practices in the social sciences and humanities. Positionality statements highlight the influence of the researcher's position, background, and values on scientific inquiry, promoting transparency, reflexivity, and dialogue within the scientific community. We advocate for a shift towards a perspectival epistemology that recognizes the value of diverse perspectives and contributes to a more robust and reliable scientific knowledge.
resultsWe include case studies demonstrating different styles of positionality statements and addresses potential critiques of positionality, including concerns about subjectivity and equating individuals with their social identities.
conclusionOverall, we conclude that embracing value-awareness and positionality can lead to a more credible and socially engaged nutrition science.
