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

Snack foods are increasingly important because of irregular eating patterns in busy lives. Many consumers state that reading ingredients is important to them making rational choices when consuming snacks. This study investigates consumer's reported avoidance of a wide range of 20 current and potential snack food ingredients. A survey of approximately 630 consumers in each of 13 countries was conducted using a Check-All-That-Apply (CATA) method. Cochran's Q test was performed to compare percentages of avoidance among countries, and correspondence analysis and cluster analysis were conducted to visualize the similarity of avoidance tendency among countries. Results showed a high tendency to avoid insect powder, SAPP, and BHA, perhaps because of connotations such as disgust or their "non-natural" connotations. The aversion rates for soybean, corn, wheat flour, and pea flour were low. Significant differences (
