Traditional place-based diets and their effects on healthy and sustainable food transitions: a systematic literature review.
Synthesis in Public health nutrition, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
objectiveTraditional diets are culturally accepted and adapted to local environments, but globalisation has shifted towards unhealthy, unsustainable eating habits. This study aims to assess the literature on the effects of traditional, place-based diets on health and sustainability and examines the suitability of common tools used to evaluate them.
designA systematic search was conducted using the PRISMA 2020 guidelines across seven databases (CINAHL, Cochrane Library, MEDLINE, Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed and Google Scholar), and the protocol was registered with PROSPERO (CRD42023445750). The inclusion criteria were traditional place-based diets, studies examining the nutritional, health benefits and sustainability impacts of traditional food consumption, published in English, with no date restriction.
resultsEleven studies from Spain, Romania, Portugal, Mexico, Chile, Japan, Uganda and India met the criteria. Assessment tools included carbon footprints (
conclusionsTraditional diets show promise as culturally appropriate models for sustainable and healthy eating. Current tools designed around standardised, reductionist frameworks often fail to capture the complexity of traditional food systems, including local practices, preparation methods and cultural meaning. To better assess traditional diets, future research should develop regionally adapted indicators and integrate quantitative measures with qualitative insights from local communities.
