Trends in Food Insecurity in the United States from 2011-2017: Disparities by Age, Sex, Race/Ethnicity, and Income.
Article in Population health management, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 66 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 number of individuals in the United States who report food insecurity doubled between 2005 and 2012, with little research investigating possible disparities across time in food-insecure populations. The aim of this study was to investigate trends in food insecurity between 2001-2017 by sex, race/ethnicity, income, and age. Adults participating in the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) between 2011-2017 were included in the study. Food insecurity was dichotomized based on affirmative responses to the Food Security Survey Module. Statistical analysis included logistic regression to investigate trends in food insecurity over time by each demographic variable (age, sex, race/ethnicity, income) adjusted by survey year and demographic variables. After adjustment, those ages ≥65 years were 39% less likely (OR = 0.61, 95% CI [0.57,0.65]) to report food insecurity compared to those ages 18-34; females were 23% more likely to be food insecure than males (OR = 1.23, 95% CI [1.19,1.27]); non-Hispanic blacks were 1.7 times more likely (OR = 1.69, 95% CI [1.62,1.76]) to be food insecure than non-Hispanic whites; and a clear gradient existed by income, with lower incomes more likely to be food insecure. Disparities in food insecurity exist across age, race/ethnicity, sex, and income and were consistent over time. These results suggest that targeted programs may be necessary to decrease food insecurity in particularly vulnerable subpopulations, and barriers to access and use of existing programs need to be investigated.
