Leadership, Liaisons, and Logistics: Military Perspectives on Facilitators and Barriers to Optimizing the Food Environment.
Article in AJPM focus, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Introduction: This study explored the factors that influence the development and implementation of food environment improvement interventions at military installations. Methods: As part of a mixed-methods study with 12 military installations representing all service branches, researchers conducted feedback sessions to explore the facilitators and barriers of the food environment improvement process. Local team members ( Results: Researchers used a qualitative description approach to code feedback sessions and identify themes. Key facilitators included leadership support and buy-in (leadership), stakeholder relationships (liaisons), and provision of resources (materials, knowledge, assistance) locally and by researchers (logistics). Key barriers included limited resources (time, funds, personnel), perceived challenges with menu changes, existing vendor contracts and profitability priorities, lack of leadership support, and insufficient knowledge of the evaluation tool and its potential benefits. Participants also stated that the current American food culture is a barrier to improving local food environments. Conclusions: Some barriers can be addressed locally, whereas others must be addressed at higher levels of leadership. Multilevel strategies are essential to transform the built environment into one where nutrition is prioritized.
