Feasibility, Acceptability, and Initial Efficacy of a Digital Intervention to Improve Consumption of Foods Received within a National Nutrition Assistance Program.
Article in Nutrients, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Many mothers are vulnerable to poor diet quality, particularly those living in low-income households. The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) provides nutrient-rich foods through its benefits packages, but many WIC participants are not redeeming them. We assessed the feasibility and acceptability of a digital intervention to support redemption and consumption of WIC-approved foods to ultimately improve diet quality. We enrolled 54 maternal-child dyads receiving WIC benefits to receive three to four weekly text messages for 12 weeks focused on behavioral goals to improve consumption of WIC-approved foods. We assessed engagement with weekly tracking messages and satisfaction and collected 24 h dietary recalls to assess preliminary efficacy on dietary intake. Participants were mostly non-Hispanic white (63%) and working (63%), and responded to 7.4 (standard deviation: 4.6) of the 12 weekly messages. Half (n = 27) were high engagers (responded to 80% or more of weekly messages), with 28% (n = 15) responding to all messages. Most felt the feedback (94%) and tips (87%) were helpful and would recommend the program (91%). More were consuming leafy green vegetables compared to baseline (
