Article in Revista de saude publica, 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
objectiveTo evaluate the evolution of the cost of a proposed healthy and sustainable basic food basket, nationally and for metropolitan regions, between 2009 and 2024.
methodsFood purchase data (quantities and amounts paid) from the 2008-2009 and 2017-2018 Pesquisas de Orçamentos Familiares (POF - Household Budget Surveys) were used. The food groups that make up the baskets were based on the Eat-Lancet planetary diet and official regulatory instruments. The Broad Consumer Price Index for foods and food groups was used to update the monthly prices of the items consumed by the Brazilian population in the context of the POFs that make up the proposed basic food basket. The accumulated inflation over the period was discounted to compare monetary values over time, calculating the real value of the basic food baskets.
resultsThe real cost of the proposed national basic food basket remained relatively stable between 2009 and 2012, showing a subsequent upward trend until early 2017, including more significant growth between 2018 and 2024. A similar pattern was observed in the basic food baskets of the metropolitan regions. The cost (adult/month) represented on average 26% of the minimum wage in force in each year of the analysis period and 19% of the national average per capita income between 2010 and 2023. The share of food groups in the cost of the proposed basket remained stable over the period.
conclusionThere has been an increase in the real cost of the proposed healthy and sustainable basic food basket at national and regional level, particularly since 2018. Moreover, the value of the healthy and sustainable basic food basket showed an upward trend in relation to the average per capita income of the population, especially since 2018.
