Associations of the updated nutrient profiling system underlying the Nutri-Score label with weight gain, overweight and obesity risk in the French NutriNet-Santé cohort.
Article in European journal of nutrition, 2026. 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
BACKGROUND AND
aimsThe nutrient profile underlying the Nutri-Score, a front-of-pack nutrition label, was updated in 2022-2023 by an ad-hoc scientific committee. Validation studies regarding the predictive ability of nutrient profile are a key step in supporting evidence-based policies. This prospective study aimed to investigate the associations between the 2023 Nutri-Score nutrient profile model (2023 NS-NPM) with weight change, risk of overweight and obesity, and to compare it with the 2015 Nutri-Score nutrient profile (2015 NS-NPM).
methodsParticipants from the NutriNet-Santé cohort were recruited among French adults (N = 75 775). An individual dietary index was computed to characterize the nutritional quality of diets based on at least three 24 h-dietary records, as the average nutritional score of each food consumed weighted by their caloric contribution. Proportional Cox hazard models were used to assess the association with the indices, obesity and overweight onset and mixed models for weight gain over time.
resultsWe found that a higher 2023 NS-NPM dietary index (DI) (i.e. a less healthy diet) was associated with a significant higher increase in BMI over time (+ 0.24% [0.22-0.26] BMI/ year in Tertile 3 vs. Tertile 1) and an increased risk of overweight (HR
conclusionThese results contribute to the validation of the 2023 Nutri-Score nutrient profile, supporting its use as public health tool for chronic disease prevention.
