Development and validation of the Meiji Nutritional Profiling System for children.
Article in Frontiers in nutrition, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Background: The Meiji Nutritional Profiling System (Meiji NPS) takes into account life-stage differences and addresses specific health challenges in different age groups in Japan. Objectives: This study aimed to develop the Meiji NPS for younger (3-5 years) and older (6-11 years) children to encourage product reformulation and promote proper growth and development. Methods: Meiji NPS scores for 1,091 foods listed in the Japanese Food Standard Composition Table were calculated and compared with nutrient profiles (NPs) for children developed by the WHO Regional Office for the Western Pacific or Nutrient-Rich Foods Index 9.3 (NRF9.3). Results: For younger children, the Meiji NPS scores ranged from -442.3 to 423.9, and for older children, the Meiji NPS scores ranged from -265.5 to 386.5. The Meiji NPS scores showed significant differences ( Conclusion: The Meiji NPS for younger and older children may provide a useful incentive for Japanese food manufacturers to produce healthier products.
