Mapping the socio-ecological influences on child food literacy: a systematic scoping review.
Article in Systematic reviews, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundThe prevalence of non-communicable diseases has increased in part due to a shift in food environments with more processed foods and low food skills among adults and children. Developing food literacy from early childhood is essential since food-related knowledge and skills develop throughout one's life and are related to improved dietary intake. Food literacy is a multidimensional construct including food-related knowledge, skills, and self-efficacy used to access, prepare, and eat food. Given its multidimensionality, food literacy is shaped by a range of influences at various levels of the socio-ecological model for health (i.e., individual, household/interpersonal, community, and organizational). Therefore, we conducted a systematic scoping review to identify potential influences on children's food literacy at the individual, household/interpersonal, community, and organizational levels.
methodsMEDLINE, Web of Science, and CINAHL databases were comprehensively searched. This scoping review was conducted in accordance with the PRISMA extension for Scoping Reviews and informed by Arksey and O'Malley's framework.
resultsOf 3082 titles and abstracts, 139 studies, i.e., randomized controlled trials, quasi/cluster-randomized trials, non-randomized controlled trials, qualitative, longitudinal and cross-sectional studies, were included in the scoping review. Findings show that most influences on child food literacy exist at individual (children's individual characteristics), household (parents' demographics, knowledge, and involvement) and organizational levels (school-based interventions, school environment) and highlight the lack of research examining influences at the community (community-based interventions, media campaigns, geographical locations) level. The representation of our results across the different levels of the socio-ecological model may be a starting point for interdisciplinary mapping to inform future research and help guide policy and program efforts to improve children's food literacy.
