1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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: This study aimed to evaluate the nutritional quality of plant-based beverages identified in selected national and local retail outlets in Türkiye using the updated Nutri-Score beverage algorithm. Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive study analyzed 56 plant-based beverage products from 10 brands identified between October and November 2025. Nutritional composition and Nutri-Score classifications were summarized by plant source and compared across product subtypes. Results: Oat-based beverages had the highest median energy and sugars, coconut-based beverages had the highest median saturated fat content, and soy-based beverages had the highest median protein content by plant source. Across product subtypes, statistically significant differences were observed in energy ( Conclusion: Among the sampled plant-based beverages, product formulation appeared to be more strongly reflected in Nutri-Score classification than plant source.
