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

Objective: To examine associations between self-reported use of Nutrition Fact Tables (NFTs) and front-of-package nutrition labels (FoPNLs) with self-reported healthy eating efforts, and to assess whether these associations became stronger after Mexico replaced Guideline Daily Amounts (GDA) with Warning Labels (WL). Methods: Data come from the 2019 and 2021 Mexico administration of the International Food Policy Study, a repeated cross-sectional online survey of adults aged 18-100 years ( Results: FoPNL use increased by 10.3 percentage points, and NFT use increased by 4.4 percentage points between 2019 and 2021. Participants who reported using NFTs and FoPNLs were more likely to engage in healthy eating efforts (OR range: 1.52-1.82). Associations between label use and healthy eating efforts did not differ by survey year. Conclusions: Reported use of FoPNL and NFT increased after 2020 policy changes in Mexico. The association between self-reported label use and self-reported healthy eating efforts did not differ between 2019 and 2021.
