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
objectiveAdults may experience unmet medical needs for various reasons. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of food security on unmet medical needs according to the presence of children in the household of adults, as well as to identify the medically vulnerable group considering individual and household characteristics.
methodsThis study was conducted using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey for 2013-2015 and 2019-2020. The subjects of the study were 23,069 adults 19 years of age or older, and were divided into two groups according to whether or not children were included in the household. In order to observe the association between food security and unmet medical needs, multiple logistic regression analysis was performed. In addition, a subgroup analysis was performed in consideration of individual and household characteristics.
resultsWhen food security was unstable for households with children, or without children, there was a high correlation with unmet medical needs. Considering individual and household characteristics, in groups with lower age and household income level, or higher number of members in household and subjective health status, food security was strongly correlated with unmet medical needs in households with children. Contrarily, households without children showed a high correlation in the opposite characteristics of households with children, excluding household income level.
conclusionFood security was highly correlation with unmet medical needs regardless of whether or not children were included in the household. However, according to the individual and household characteristics of households with and without children, the relationship between food security and unmet medical needs was found to be different. Therefore, it is necessary to prepare a health policy that can increase access to medical services in consideration of food security and individual and household characteristics depending on whether or not children are included in the household.
