Migrant Farmworker Nutritional Strategies: Implications for Diabetes Management.
Article in Journal of agromedicine, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
objectivesDiabetes is a chronic disease prevalent in Hispanic/Latino adults, including migrant farmworkers in the US. Its management requires that individuals follow dietary guidelines, which may be difficult for migrant farmworkers due to work and environmental constraints. This analysis is designed to explore potential barriers to and supports for migrant farmworkers' practice of effective dietary self-management.
methodsInterviews were conducted with 200 Latino migrant farmworkers in North Carolina, including workers with and without diabetes, recruited at housing sites throughout the 2017 agricultural season. The survey instrument included questions designed to elucidate how workers obtain food, prepare and consume food, and maintain food security.
resultsMost purchased food is obtained once per week at large grocery stores, with most farmworkers depending on others for transportation. Less than 1 in 5 supplement with garden produce and food from food pantries, farmers markets, and hunting and fishing. About half of lunches and a quarter of dinners are purchased from vendors or other commercial sources. More than 2 in 5 workers report they have to compromise on or lack control of meal content. About 1 in 5 report issues with food security.
conclusionsThe food-related practices of farmworkers would require change to accommodate effective dietary self-management of diabetes. Greater use of sources of fresh produce and other nutrient-dense foods, coupled with greater control over meal content and cooking techniques would be needed. While some accommodations could be encouraged through education, others would require policy change in housing or access to community resources.
