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
This study assessed perceptions of the food environment and its association with the availability of unprocessed, minimally processed, and ultra-processed foods in the households of Brazilian schoolchildren during the COVID-19 pandemic. A cross-sectional telephone survey (n = 475) was conducted between March, April and May 2021 with a representative sample of households with public school students from two Brazilian municipalities. Household food availability was assessed using a frequency questionnaire referring to the 30 days prior to the survey. Perception of the food environment was assessed using questions that measured perceived availability, price, and quality of fruits and vegetables (FV) and ultra-processed foods (UPF) sold in the neighbourhood. To analyse the association between perceived food environment and food availability, univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed, with 95% CI. The results indicate that high availability of unprocessed or minimally processed foods was found in 7.4% of households and high availability of UPF in 92.6%. Positive perception of UPF variety in the neighbourhood was more prevalent in households with greater availability of these foods (
