Adolescent food insecurity: A review of contextual and behavioral factors.
Review in Public health nursing (Boston, Mass.), 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 52 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
objectiveThe purpose of this review is to examine recent research on contextual and behavioral factors that will lead to better understanding of adolescent food insecurity and health outcomes.
designA literature search for peer-reviewed, English language, research articles published between 2009 and 2019, using CINAHL, Embase SAMPLE: The final sample represents thirty studies on food insecurity with a sample including adolescents, and that employ a measure of food insecurity.
resultsVariables of interest and results on topics such as weight-related factors, maternal parenting and behaviors, mental health, and adolescent-level behavioral factors are summarized.
conclusionFood insecurity is associated with poor adolescent health and mental health. All adolescents should be screened for food insecurity, involving pediatric and mental health care settings. Future research on adolescent food insecurity should explore parent and parenting factors, household composition and family dynamics, psychological factors, health behaviors, and stress; peer influences might also be an important area of research with adolescents. While previous research has relied on parents' reports, adolescents'experiences are unique, and they are willing and reliable research participants; they should be included in future food insecurity research.
