Nutrition Literacy Among Latina/x People During Pregnancy Is Associated With Socioeconomic Position.
Trial report in Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
backgroundDuring pregnancy, Latina/x people experience nutrition and nutrition-related health inequities. Nutrition literacy is a potential factor impacted by these inequities. However, the nutrition literacy level of Latina/x people during pregnancy is not well investigated.
objectivesThe study aimed to assess the nutrition literacy level of Latina/x people during pregnancy and explore the association of nutrition literacy with socioeconomic position.
designThis was a cross-sectional study of data collected from 2016 to 2018 within the double-blinded, randomized clinical trial Assessment of Docosahexaenoic Acid on Reducing Early Preterm Birth. PARTICIPANTS/
settingA total of 112 Latina/x people during pregnancy from the Kansas City metro area were included in this study.
main outcome measuresNutrition literacy level assessed between 12 and 20 gestational weeks using the Nutrition Literacy Assessment Instrument, both in English and Spanish. STATISTICAL ANALYSES PERFORMED: Descriptive measures were used to describe the nutrition literacy level during pregnancy. Multiple logistic regression models were used to examine the association between low nutrition literacy and socioeconomic position, adjusting for age and race.
resultsIn this study, most participants demonstrated low nutrition literacy during pregnancy. Those with low nutrition literacy were 2 times more likely to have low annual household income (odds ratio [OR] = 2.74, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.99-7.59), 3 times more likely to prefer Spanish as their primary language of communication (OR = 3.03, 95% CI: 0.95-9.67), and 7 times more likely to be uninsured (OR = 7.47; 95% CI: 1.57-35.64).
conclusionsNutrition literacy scores during pregnancy were associated with variables of socioeconomic position. Future research should focus on nutrition literacy associations with health outcomes during pregnancy and interventions to improve the nutrition literacy level of primarily Spanish-speaking people who have low household incomes and are uninsured.
