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

objectivePartnerships between public, private and civil society actors can potentially address food systems challenges. However, such cross-sector partnerships may require the management of potential tensions and conflicts of interest. This article presents the development and content of a framework for engagement between food systems actors involved in NewTools, a cross-sector research partnership involving twenty-eight partners from research institutions, government, food industry and civil society. The purpose of the framework is to facilitate engagement of partners and maintain research integrity.

designThis two-phased, iterative study was conducted in 2022. It was guided by recommendations for methodological framework development and was informed by existing frameworks and recommendations as well as two rounds of consultations with partners.

settingThe Norwegian cross-sector research partnership NewTools that aims to develop two food profiling models: one for dietary quality and one for environmental and social impact.

participantsFood systems actors involved in the NewTools project.

resultsThe NewTools framework consists of four main parts: (1) definition of overarching principles for collaboration (transparency, regular information, adhering to defined roles and responsibilities), (2) descriptions of roles and responsibilities of the partners involved, (3) procedures to ensure involvement and transparency and (4) identification and mediation of potential conflict areas.

conclusionsThis article provides an example of how a cross-sector research partnership developed a framework to facilitate engagement between partners with different interest within a food system. Future studies are needed to assess the potential value of frameworks for cross-sector research partnerships towards healthier and more sustainable food systems.
