Food emissions taxes can deliver health and environmental benefits with limited leakage.
Article in Nature food, 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
Exploring various designs of greenhouse gas (GHG) taxation in food systems is crucial for understanding possible global implications. Here we investigate cross-product substitution and cross-country reallocations derived from food-consumption-based GHG taxes, together with their mitigation and health effects. We vary the tax scenarios according to the social cost of carbon (SCC) used to calculate the country-specific tax rate, the international diffusion of the tax, and the use of within-country tax revenue recycling to subsidize fruit and vegetables. We find that, despite minor leakage risks, a uniform-SCC approach offers the highest global mitigation potential but could harm health in some countries. SCC scenarios reflecting common but differentiated responsibility lower mitigation but lessen the negative health effects, and subsidies can improve health but lower mitigation. Our findings support an ambitious GHG tax for improving mitigation and health, provided it does not substantially reduce purchasing power.
