A modified Delphi to inform development of a multidimensional diet quality score for a sustainable healthy diet.

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
No existing dietary metric simultaneously captures key dimensions of sustainable healthy diets (SHD): dietary variety, intake of animal products and extent of food processing. This methods and construct development study aimed to identify indicators of an SHD that can be used to inform a multidimensional diet quality score. A modified Delphi was used to gain expert consensus regarding the development of an SHD score. Three iterative surveys were conducted between November 2022 and May 2023. Surveys asked participants' opinions regarding the measurement of the three dimensions of SHD (Dimension 1: variety of unprocessed and minimally processed foods; Dimension 2: intake of animal products; and Dimension 3: intake of ultra-processed foods (UPF)) and weighting and aggregation of a score that assesses these three dimensions. Thirteen international experts completed all three surveys. Consensus from experts led to the identification of food-based indicators of SHD. Experts agreed that Dimension 1 should be comprised of twelve food groups, with food groups and scoring ranges informed by the Global Diet Quality Score; Dimension 2 comprised of five food groups with scoring ranges informed by the EAT-Lancet planetary health diet; and Dimension 3 as one food group measured as a cut-off value of ≤10 % energy from UPF. There was consensus that each dimension should be equally weighted. Outcomes from this work have been used to inform the development and validation of a multidimensional diet quality score to assess the healthfulness and environmental sustainability of diets among healthy adult populations.
