A comparison of household food insecurity rates in Newfoundland and Labrador in 2011-2012 and 2017-2018.

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
objectivesThe prevalence of household food insecurity in Newfoundland and Labrador (NL) fell sharply between 2007 and 2011, but it appears to have risen since then. Our objective was to compare the prevalence of food insecurity between 2011-2012 and 2017-2018 in relation to population socio-demographic characteristics.
methodsOur analytic sample comprised all NL households in the Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS) cycles 2011-2012 and 2017-2018, n = 6800. We stratified the prevalence of household food insecurity for each cycle by socio-demographic characteristics and applied multivariable logistic regression models to determine food insecurity odds in 2017-2018 compared with 2011-2012 after controlling for socio-demographic covariates. Interactions of covariates with survey cycle were tested and models stratified when warranted.
resultsThe prevalence of food insecurity rose from 12.0% (95% CI 10.5, 13.6) in 2011-2012 to 14.7% (95% CI 13.1, 16.6) in 2017-2018. After adjusting for household socio-demographic variables, the odds of food insecurity was 1.49 (95% CI 1.27, 1.75) in 2017-2018. The prevalence of food insecurity had increased significantly among unattached individuals, renters, households with low educational attainment, and households with income above the Low Income Measure, with concomitant increases in the contribution of these groups to the total provincial prevalence of food insecurity in 2017-2018 compared with that in 2011-2012.
conclusionThe odds of food insecurity among NL households increased significantly from 2011-2012 to 2017-2018. Given the serious negative health implications of household food insecurity, the province should draw on the lessons from its earlier success in food insecurity reduction to reverse the current trend.
