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

Circular farming is a sustainable agricultural system that promotes waste reuse and nutrient recovery by minimizing external inputs, closing nutrient loops, and reducing environmental impact. To our knowledge, this study is the first to apply open-ended choice experiments (OECEs) to assess consumers' willingness to pay (WTP) and demand for food products from circular farming, involving 5289 participants across six EU countries. Three product categories were analyzed: pork, milk, and bread. Results showed that there is market potential for the food products produced from circular farming in Europe, as consumers are willing to pay a premium for circular products compared to conventional ones. Spanish consumers exhibited the highest WTP premiums (>26%) across all categories, whereas Hungarian consumers showed the lowest premiums. Socio-demographic factors, environmental attitudes, and price levels significantly influenced the quantity of circular food products that consumers were willing to purchase.
