Dietitians as Food Systems Changemakers: The Path to Developing a Resilient, Equitable, Healthy and Connected Food System in the Illawarra Shoalhaven Region of Australia.

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
backgroundContemporary food systems contribute to climate change and influence food security, diet quality, equity and regional resilience. Addressing these interconnected challenges requires coordinated, place-based actions across the entire food system, with dietitians and nutrition professionals increasingly recognised as key system actors.
objectiveTo describe a dietitian-led, systems-thinking approach used to inform the development of a regional food strategy in New South Wales, Australia and to identify opportunities for dietitians and nutrition professionals in food system change across health, equity and environmental sustainability domains.
methodsUsing a socioecological model of health promotion and a collective impact methodology, a 2-year evidence-building and co-design programme of work was undertaken. Mixed methods were used across Ottawa Charter action areas: Building Healthy Public Policy; Creating a Supportive Environment; Developing Personal Skills; and Strengthening Community Action. Activities included diet affordability analysis, food environment and production mapping, community surveys, social network analysis, pilot skills-building initiatives and cross-sector stakeholder engagement.
resultsThe programme generated a coordinated regional evidence base on food security, food environments and local food systems, which informed the establishment and governance structure of a cross-sector Food Futures Taskforce and the co-design of a regional Food Charter and Action Plan with defined priorities and responsibilities. Findings highlight the central role of dietitians as knowledge translators, equity advocates and facilitators of systems change.
conclusionThis case study demonstrates how dietitians can operationalise systems thinking to catalyse regional food system governance and transformation. The approach offers a transferable model for integrating research, policy and practice to advance healthy, equitable and sustainable food systems.
