Addressing Childhood Malnutrition in Europe: Policy Approaches to Promote Healthy Eating in Young Children.

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
Childhood malnutrition remains a pressing public health challenge in Europe, where stunting, wasting, and underweight coexist with rising rates of childhood overweight and obesity. This policy review provides a strategic roadmap for promoting healthy nutrition in early childhood by synthesizing WHO and EU guidance and proposing coordinated action across three time horizons. Short-term goals (1-3 years) include harmonizing food-based dietary guidelines, implementing universal nutrition screening in pediatric care, and strengthening breastfeeding-supportive environments. Mid-term priorities (3-7 years) focus on fiscal levers, such as sugar taxes and healthy food subsidies; reformulating children's products; and embedding nutrition education within school curricula. Long-term strategies (7+ years) emphasize harmonized EU-wide monitoring systems, alignment of early-life nutrition with social protection policies, and sustained investment in research on the DOHaD. Through a unified, multisectoral strategy emphasizing early-life nutrition, equitable access to healthy foods, education, and robust regulation, Europe can effectively address the double burden of malnutrition and sustainably reduce childhood obesity.
