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

Food loss and waste are a major global problem as reflected in the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 12. Households constitute the primary source of food waste worldwide. The development of effective solutions depends on a comprehensive understanding of consumer attitudes and behaviors. This cross-sectional study used the Value-Attitude-Behavior (VAB) hierarchy to examine consumers' food waste reduction intentions. It was conducted on individuals in Turkiye via an online survey. The results showed that consumers' hedonic value and attitudes were positively associated with food waste reduction intentions. The strongest associations with intentions were observed for anticipated guilt, attitude toward reducing food waste, and hedonic value. Furthermore, education level and household size showed significant effects on food waste reduction intentions. In conclusion, these findings based on the VAB model showed the central role of anticipated guilt in shaping food waste reduction intentions, suggesting that emotionally driven intervention strategies may be more effective than approaches focusing solely on attitudes.
