Within-Person Variation in Ultra-Processed Food Consumption Is Associated with Total Daily Energy Intake.
Article in Nutrients, 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
BACKGROUND/
objectivesImportant gaps remain in understanding the association between ultra-processed food (UPF) consumption and same-day energy intake. This study aimed to expand the understanding of how within-person variation in UPF consumption is associated with total energy intake.
methodsNationwide, representative dietary survey data from 38,854 participants (≥10 years old) in the 2017-2018 Brazilian Household Budget Survey food intake module were analyzed. These cross-sectional repeated-measures data were used to estimate within-person differences in energy intake between two days of food consumption. Mixed models were applied to examine the associations between the presence and energy share of UPFs in the diet and total daily energy intake.
resultsAmong participants who consumed UPFs on only one of the two days (
conclusionsAmong participants who consumed UPFs on only one of the two days, the day with UPF consumption was associated with higher total daily energy intake than the day without UPF consumption. A higher within-person UPF energy share was also associated with higher total daily energy intake. Understanding the association between UPF consumption and same-day energy intake can inform public health strategies aimed at reducing excessive energy intake.
