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

backgroundFront-of-Pack Nutrition Labeling (FOPNL) is a promising public health measure to promote healthier food choices in the population. The present study tested the impact of the Nutri-Score and warning labels on purchasing intentions and product perceptions in Indonesia and Türkiye, where no FOPNL system is currently in place, and Mexico, where warning labels are mandatory since October 2020.

methodAdult participants (N = 639; n

resultsNutri-Score influenced purchasing intentions for four categories; warning labels only for one. Overall, Nutri-Score was somewhat more effective in guiding consumers to identify healthier choices and products higher in nutrients that should be consumed in moderation compared to the warning labels, although effects varied substantially between product categories and nutrients.

conclusionBoth Nutri-Score and warning labels potentially promote healthier food choices, with Nutri-Score producing somewhat larger and more consistent effects. More research is needed on potential negative consequences of labels and the conditions under which they might appear to maximize public health benefit.
