Nutri Veggie Index: An Innovative Nutrition Classification Scheme for Quality Assessment of Plant-Based Meat Analogues.
Article in Foods (Basel, Switzerland), 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
Growing availability and consumption of plant-based meat analogues (PBMAs) have highlighted the need for nutritional assessment tools specifically designed to address the unique characteristics of these products. This study aimed to develop a nutritional quality assessment tool for PBMAs and to evaluate its applicability, agreement with existing nutritional classification schemes, and usability among nutrition professionals. The Nutritional Quality Index for Plant-Based Meat Analogues (NCS-Nutri Veggie Index) was developed based on expert consensus recommendations and existing nutritional assessment frameworks. The index evaluates seven domains: front-of-package nutrition labeling, characteristics associated with protein quality and quantity, lipid composition, sodium content, dietary fiber, micronutrient fortification, and the inclusion of sociobiodiversity ingredients, generating scores ranging from 0 to 100 and classifying products from A (excellent) to E (poor nutritional quality). NCS-Nutri Veggie Index was applied to 334 PBMA. Among the products evaluated, most foods had intermediate nutritional quality (C), corresponding to 53.0% (
