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

Food system transformation will require the expansion of new ideas and solutions while phasing out old and obsolete ones, potentially leading to unintended and undesirable consequences. This Perspective argues that anticipatory governance approaches can shape technological visions while informing and prioritizing actions to support sustainable transformation. We present a framework to engage systematically with uncertainty and complexity, and to identify potential positive and negative outcomes. We argue for the adoption of mission-oriented innovation systems to better align innovation efforts with environmental, social and health objectives while mitigating negative consequences-and create a culture of more inclusive and responsible innovation.
