Characterising public opinion for food-based fiscal policies in the UK.
Article in Social science & medicine (1982), 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
Various fiscal policies have been proposed to incentivise healthy and sustainable diets, with differing attributes and levels. Public support can influence the ability for such policies to be implemented but is currently poorly understood, so two discrete choice experiments (DCEs) were used to measure such preferences among 2020 adults in the UK. The attributes and levels for 192 policy options were identified using a scoping review that comprehensively documented existing or proposed food-based fiscal policies. For health-related taxes and subsidies, options that prioritised protecting the NHS budget were most preferred for all respondents, which held across variation in 9 respondent characteristics. For sustainability taxes, avoiding donating to other countries was a clear priority for all respondents, and again held across 9 respondent characteristics. These results could help to shape UK policy while these methods could be used to understand policy preferences elsewhere.
