Food as medicine? Exploring the impact of providing healthy foods on adherence and clinical and economic outcomes.
Article in Exploratory research in clinical and social pharmacy, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 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
Background: Chronic disease prevalence is increasing. Adherence to dietary guidelines is low (<50%) despite positive impacts in disease progression, clinical outcomes, and medical costs. It is important to summarize the impact of providing medically-tailored meals to patients on adherence rates, clinical outcomes, and potential economic outcomes. Methods: A systematic review was conducted to identify, extract, and appraise food-provision studies from January 1, 2013-May 1, 2018 for heart disease, diabetes (DM), and chronic kidney disease (CKD). The key findings related to adherence and clinical outcomes were compiled. Published literature was utilized to determine the economic impact of key clinical outcomes. Results: Across diseases, 100 articles ( Conclusion: Providing medically-tailored meals significantly increases dietary adherence above 90% and allows patients to realize significantly better chronic disease control. Through this, patients could experience fewer complications (CV events, hospital readmissions and dialysis), resulting in significant annual US healthcare cost reduction of $27-48 billion.
