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
introductionMexico faces a public health crisis due to the rising prevalence of obesity and noncommunicable diseases, primarily driven by unhealthy food environments.
objectiveTo conduct a second implementation of the Food Environment Policy Index in Mexico to assess policy implementation levels related to healthy food environments and to compare progress made from 2016 to 2024.
methodsA national panel of 75 experts from three groups-64.0% from academia, 17.3% from government, and 18.7% from civil society organizations-assessed the level of policy implementation of 72 food environment-related indicators against international best practices.
resultsThe highest levels of policy implementation were found in the Food Labeling domain (e.g., List of ingredients/nutrient declarations and Front-of-package labeling) and the Monitoring and Intelligence domain (e.g., National surveys used in policy design and modification). Eighteen indicators improved in 2024; differences in proportions were statistically significant. The Food Retail domain showed the highest improvement (e.g., Incentives to increase the offer of healthy foods in stores). The expert panel identified five priority indicators and made corresponding recommendations.
conclusionMexico has made progress in several aspects of the food environment; however, significant gaps in policy implementation remain and must be addressed to sustain momentum toward transforming the food system and improving nutrition and health for the entire population.
