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

BACKGROUND/

objectivesEggs serve as an important source of nutrition for the general public. However, despite their importance, research examining consumer characteristics related to egg consumption remains limited, focusing on the quality. Therefore, the primary objective of this work is to define the concept of food quality from the consumer's perspective in the U.S. egg market. This work employs five attributes to evaluate the food quality of eggs, including price fairness, nutritional value, product size, packaging, and hygiene.

methodsThis research also investigates the structural relationships between food quality attributes, trust, and loyalty. Food quality is operationalized through five sub-dimensions: price fairness, nutritional value, product size, packaging, and hygiene. Data were collected via an online survey using the Clickworker platform, resulting in 311 valid responses for statistical analysis. Covariance-based structural equation modeling was employed to test the proposed hypotheses.

resultsThe findings reveal that trust is positively influenced by price fairness, nutritional value, packaging, and hygiene. Furthermore, loyalty is positively affected by nutritional value, product size, and trust.

conclusionThis research contributes to the literature by offering a consumer-centered definition of egg quality and by identifying key quality-related attributes that influence trust and loyalty.
