Housing and Food Insecurity, Health Literacy, and Maladaptive Coping Behaviors.
Article in Health literacy research and practice, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundStressors related to social determinants of health (SDH), such as housing and food insecurity, are implicated in chronic disease risk. Maladaptive strategies for coping with these stressors may exacerbate risk.
objectiveGiven the limited research on SDH-related stressors and maladaptive coping, this study examined the relationship between two SDH-related stressors (housing and food insecurity) and maladaptive coping behaviors (i.e., emotional eating and stress-related cigarette and alcohol use) in adults. Further, because health literacy (HL), another SDH, may be a protective factor, this study explored whether HL moderated these relationships.
methodsData were collected from adults ( KEY
resultsHousing insecurity was associated with increased odds of emotional eating (odds ratio [OR] = 1.48,
conclusionsExamining HL in relation to SDH-related stressors and maladaptive coping behaviors is complex. HL may be less protective for maladaptive coping behaviors that are likely addictive. Because HL domains may require cooperation between individuals and systems related to stressors, multi-systemic interventions are necessary to reduce maladaptive coping behaviors. [
