Front-of-pack labeling and perceived nutritional quality in adults with and without chronic disease: results from a quasi-experimental study.

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
Introduction: Noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) are a leading global health concern, linked to poor dietary choices and misperceptions about food healthfulness. Front-of-pack labeling (FOPL) systems, such as Nutri-Score (NS) and Warning Labels (WL), aim to guide healthier food choices, yet their effectiveness in populations with chronic conditions remains underexplored. Methods: We conducted a quasi-experimental online study among 5,140 adults in Spain, including individuals with and without NCDs. Participants evaluated the perceived nutritional quality of five commonly consumed foods under three different FOPL in the following order: no label (control), NS, and WL. The participants assessed each product in a randomized order within each label conditions to minimize order and learning effects. Results: Both labeling systems significantly influenced perceptions of nutritional quality ( Discussion: While NS may inadvertently reinforce health halos for certain products, WL appear more effective in correcting misperceptions and promoting accurate assessments of nutritional quality in comparison to NS and no FOPL. These findings support the use of WL as a more impactful FOPL strategy for guiding informed food choices, particularly among individuals with chronic health conditions.
