Food vendor characteristics in and around junior high schools and the relationship with adolescent diet quality in Ghana.
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
objectiveAspects of the school food environment can influence food purchasing and consumption among adolescents, particularly those without access to a school meal programme. Our objective was to describe and compare food vendors of junior high schools (JHS) in Ghana.
designWe conducted structured observations of food vendors within a 0·25-km radius of eight JHSs. We compared foods sold and hygiene practices by vendor and community characteristics, such as on-
settingCape Coast and Elmina, Ghana.
participants200 randomly selected students.
resultsOf 265 identified vendors, 25·3 % sold foods on-campus. On-campus vendors were less likely to sell branded snacks (19·4 %
conclusionMany adolescents purchased food at school, and there were differences in foods sold by on- and off-campus vendors. School policies may be a promising avenue to alter food environments for adolescents.
