Impact of unhealthy food/drink marketing exposure to children in New Zealand: a systematic narrative review.
Synthesis in Health promotion international, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Unhealthy food and drink marketing exposure to children is known to influence children's dietary choices and the World Health Organization recommends governments protect children from the marketing of unhealthy commodities. This study aims to explore and synthesize children's unhealthy food and drink marketing exposure in New Zealand. A systematic search strategy was undertaken following the PRISMA guidelines. Eight databases were searched for studies from inception to January 2024 on marketing exposure of unhealthy food and drink to children aged 2-17 years. A deductive coding analysis was used, with codes sourced from a modified coding framework developed using a diagram sourced from the ASEAN and UNICEF (2023) report. The diagram demonstrates the pathway from marketing exposure to unhealthy food- and drink-related diseases. A total of 1019 studies were screened for eligibility. Forty-five studies met the inclusion criteria-five qualitative, 34 quantitative and four mixed-method studies. The results are presented in a narrative review format. Findings demonstrated children's exposure to unhealthy food/drink marketing is ubiquitous with clear links to dietary preference and consumption. To improve child health now and over the life course, unhealthy food/drink marketing needs to be subjected to greater restriction with enforceable legislation to protect children from exposure to unhealthy marketing, breaking the chain from exposure to ill health.
