Compatibility of the food compass with dietary indices and sustainable eating behaviors: toward a multidimensional assessment tool.
Article in Journal of health, population, and nutrition, 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
backgroundNon-communicable diseases remain the leading cause of global mortality, with diet being a major modifiable risk factor. The Food Compass (FC), a novel nutrient profiling system, offers a broader perspective. This study aimed to assess the correlation between a Dietary Index (DI) derived from Food Compass and two established indices Healthy Eating Index (HEI) and the Mediterranean Adequacy Index (MAI), and to examine its association with sustainable and healthy eating behaviors (SHEB).
methodsIn this cross-sectional study, 294 participants completed a questionnaire to collect sociodemographic information, underwent anthropometric measurements, and provided 24-hour dietary recalls. From these dietary recalls, HEI, MAI, and DI scores were calculated. SHEB was assessed using a validated scale.
resultsThe DI showed significant correlations with HEI (r = 0.20, p < 0.01) and MAI (r = 0.46, p < 0.01). Only the DI demonstrated a significant association with SHEB (r = 0.17, p < 0.01). Bland-Altman analyses revealed overall agreement between the indices, with HEI showing relatively homogeneous differences from the DI. Regression analysis confirmed DI as an independent predictor of SHEBS (β = 0.12, p = 0.034).
conclusionsFC may serve as a novel, multidimensional dietary assessment tool that better captures sustainable eating behaviors compared to traditional indices.
