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

Sustained policy-driven changes to the availability and promotion of healthier food and drinks in foodservice outlets are essential to support population health over time. Limited research has explored whether why and how healthy food retail practices become easier or more challenging to maintain over time. This study aimed to explore food retailer (managers, staff, and volunteers) and implementation support practitioner (e.g. dietitians and health promotion practitioners) experiences with and perspectives on the (i) feasibility of, (ii) key determinants of, and (iii) strategies for sustaining healthy food retail practices in a range of Australian public settings (e.g. healthcare facilities). Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 17 participants (nine practitioners and eight retailers) representing food outlets with experience sustaining healthy food retail practices in sport and recreation centres, schools, and healthcare facilities across six Australian jurisdictions. Interviews were thematically analyzed, using primarily a deductive approach informed by the Integrated Sustainability Framework, sustainment-explicit Expert Recommendations for Implementing Change glossary, and marketing mix theory. Key determinants of sustainment (Theme 1) were related to 'intervention-context fit and outlet capacity'; 'people and processes driving sustainment'; and 'top-down leadership and systemic support'. Multiple interconnected strategies to support sustainment (Theme 2) were identified, including 'iterative, evaluative, and adaptive strategies to support fit and fidelity'; 'engagement and behaviour-focused strategies to build capacity and demand'; and 'embedding healthy food retail within organizational governance and policy systems'. Sustaining healthy food retail practices in public settings is a dynamic process, requiring consistent alignment between inner and outer context, support systems, and engagement with key actors.
