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

objectiveNut consumption is low, with concern regarding weight gain as a barrier to intake. However, evidence indicates no association between nut consumption and body weight. The metabolisable energy of nuts may partly explain this phenomenon. This study aims to qualitatively explore perceptions of presenting nut metabolisable energy on nutrition labels, and the potential influence this may have on consumption.

designSemi-structured focus groups and interviews, with an inductive, reflexive approach to thematic analysis.

settingOnline (Australia).

participants18 years or older, with either no formal nutrition education (consumer group) or formal training and working in nutrition/dietetics, public health, food industry, food regulation or nut growing (stakeholder group).

resultsFour focus groups and nine interviews consisting of twenty participants (

conclusionsThe findings suggest that perceptions of presenting nut metabolisable energy on labels are multi-layered, indicating this strategy may not be straightforward in resolving concerns about weight. Other strategies should be considered to promote nut consumption.
