Using commercial dataset for extracting information on nutrition composition for policy evaluation purposes.
Article in Public health nutrition, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveThis study assessed the suitability of nutritional composition data from a commercial dataset for policy evaluation in Brazil.
designWe compared the proportions of packaged foods and beverages, classified according to the Nova food classification and the nutritional composition of matched products using data from a commercial database of food labels (Mintel-Global New Products Database (GNPD)) and the Brazilian Food Labels Database (BFLD), collected in 2017 as a 'gold standard.' We evaluated the agreement between the two datasets using paired
settingBrazil.
participantsTotally, 11 434 packaged foods and beverages collected in 2017 provided by BFLD and 67 042 packaged foods and beverages launched from 2001 to 2017 provided by Mintel-GNPD.
resultsThe proportions of ultra-processed foods (UPF) were similar in both datasets. Paired products exhibited an excellent correlation (ICC > 0·80), with no statistically significant difference in the mean values (
conclusionThe Mintel-GNPD dataset closely aligns with the BFLD in UPF distribution and shows a similar nutritional composition to a sample of matched foods available for purchase in stores, indicating its potential contribution to monitoring and evaluating food labelling policies in Brazil and in studies of food and beverages composition in food retail through the verification of policy compliance.
