Compliance With England's Calorie Labeling Regulations 3 Years After Policy Implementation.

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
We examined compliance with England's calorie labeling regulations, which require large out-of-home food businesses to display the calories of prepared food and drink at the point of choice, such as menus. By using website data from large out-of-home food businesses, we found that all businesses (n = 77) provided calorie labeling somewhere on their websites. However, fewer than half (48%; n = 37) did not provide calorie labels on the default menu (ie, the first menu that a consumer is likely to see). Compliance with the policy's implementation guidance was greatest for the label's position (81%; n = 62) and lowest for prominent formatting (40%; n = 31), while 71% (n = 55) of businesses provided the statement of daily calorie needs. We observed differences among types of out-of-home food businesses, but we did not test them because of the small sample size. Our results suggest imperfect adherence to England's calorie labeling regulations, thus undermining the policy's impact. As the policy's review approaches, policy makers should consider strategies for ensuring compliance.
