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
Background: Brand authenticity plays a crucial role in shaping consumer evaluations in nutrition markets, where product claims are difficult to verify and consumers rely heavily on trust. Objective: The research investigates the influence of perceived brand authenticity on consumer trust and loyalty, and also examines the mediating role of perceived sincerity, self-congruence, and emotional attachment in that connection. Method: Using survey data from 300 consumers, the measurement and structural models were validated through Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) and Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) with bootstrapped indirect effects. Results: The results demonstrate that brand authenticity significantly enhances trust ( Conclusion: These findings clarify the cognitive and affective mechanisms linking brand authenticity to trust and loyalty in nutrition branding, offering strategic insights for managers aiming to strengthen long-term consumer relationships. In this way, the study addresses the trust and authenticity nexus during nutrition branding and demonstrates how to credibly and systematically approach brand storytelling in critical health issues.
