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
Objective: This study aimed to examine whether vegetable supply sources and production areas are associated with the quantity and variety of vegetable intake. Materials and Methods: The setting of this cross-sectional study was one agricultural district (114 households) in Japan. Respondents were asked about their use of 10 vegetable supply sources (e.g., home-grown, receiving from others) and their vegetable intake frequency from five production areas (e.g., home-grown, district-grown). Vegetable intake quantity and variety were assessed using validated scales. Results: Among the 163 included participants (73 men and 90 women), the quantity of vegetable intake was significantly greater among men who were home-grown vegetable consumers than among non-consumers. The variety of vegetable intake was significantly greater among men who received vegetables than among non-receivers, among supermarket non-users than among users, and among women who used farmers' markets outside the district than among non-users. For vegetable production areas, the variety was significantly greater among men with high district-grown vegetable intake than among those with low intake and among women with high city-grown vegetable intake than among those with low intake. Conclusion: Both vegetable supply sources and production areas were associated with the quantity and variety of vegetable intake, which may provide insights into potential environmental factors influencing eating behaviors. Specifically, home-grown, received, and farmers' market vegetable sources were positively associated with a greater quantity and variety of vegetable intake, whereas supermarket use was negatively associated with variety. Vegetable production areas, such as district- or city-grown areas, were also positively associated with variety.
