The UK Food Environment: A Systematic Review of Domains, Methodologies, and Outcomes.
Review in Current developments in nutrition, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 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
Understanding food environments is crucial for developing policies and interventions to enhance the healthfulness and sustainability of UK diets. We systematically reviewed published scientific research to answer 2 research questions. First, what types and domains of the food environment have been assessed in the United Kingdom using what methodologies? Domains included availability, affordability, promotion, product characteristics/quality, convenience, and sustainability. Second, what outcomes have been assessed in relation to food environments? Outcomes were classified as descriptive (describing the food environment), dietary intake, and health. Articles published between January 2000 and December 2024 were identified by searching 7 databases: CAB Abstracts, CINAHL, EMBASE, Global Health, PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science. A total of 31,457 articles were identified, 3418 full texts were reviewed, and 286 articles were included. Another 26 articles were included after screening the references of articles identified in the database search. Thus, data were extracted from a total of 312 articles. The most common domain studied was availability (
