Alternatives to SNAP: Global Approaches to Addressing Childhood Poverty and Food Insecurity.
Article in American journal of public health, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) in the United States is a key element of the nation's safety net. Yet, 12.5 million US children live in households that experience food insecurity, despite national spending of $65 billion on SNAP alone.In analyses integrating data from the 36 Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries, we found that child poverty and food insecurity are much higher in the United States than in most of the other OECD countries. The United States has higher total social spending than other OECD countries, but a lower rate of spending on children and families. This international comparison suggests that potentially effective solutions implemented in other countries might help further alleviate US childhood poverty and food insecurity.Broadly, we recommend increasing investments in families with children, particularly low-income families. Our specific recommendations include increasing SNAP benefits, establishing additional benefits to support low-income families with young children, and implementing a universal child allowance. Achieving substantial reductions in child poverty and food insecurity will require overcoming many challenges, including the current US political climate, a national history of underinvestment in social programs, a lack of political will, and a culture of structural racism.
