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

Upcycled foods are a rising trend as the issue of food waste and sustainability becomes an increasing concern. The objective of this research was to evaluate the perception of upcycled foods through the characterization of consumer segments. An online questionnaire was developed to evaluate food neophobia, lifestyle, behavior, beliefs, awareness, and familiarity or recognition of upcycled and sustainable food products using a pre- and post-infographic intervention. The survey was created using Red Jade SaaS and distributed to participants through the Cal Poly Sensory database, North Carolina State University Sensory Service Center database, social media (LinkedIn and Nextdoor), and personal communication.
