Food Insecurity: A Concept Analysis.
Review in Nursing forum. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 papers.
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
aimTo report an analysis of the concept of food insecurity in order to (a) propose a theoretical model of food insecurity useful to nursing; and (b) discuss its implications for nursing practice, nursing research, and health promotion.
backgroundA total of 48 million Americans are food insecure. As food insecurity is associated with multiple negative health effects, nursing intervention is warranted.
designConcept analysis. DATA SOURCES: A literature search was conducted in May 2014 in Scopus and MEDLINE using the exploded term "food insecur*." No year limit was placed. Government websites and popular media were searched to ensure a full understanding of the concept. REVIEW
methodsIterative analysis, using the Walker and Avant method.
resultsFood insecurity is defined by uncertain ability or inability to procure food, inability to procure enough food, being unable to live a healthy life, and feeling unsatisfied. A proposed theoretical model of food insecurity, adapted from the Socio-Ecological Model, identifies three layers of food insecurity (individual, community, society), with potential for nursing impact at each level.
conclusionNurses must work to fight food insecurity. There exists a potential for nursing impact that is currently unrealized. Nursing impact can be guided by a new conceptual model, Food Insecurity Within the Nursing Paradigm.
