Community Gardening Increases Vegetable Intake and Seasonal Eating From Baseline to Harvest: Results from a Mixed Methods Randomized Controlled Trial.
Article in Current developments in nutrition, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03089177 (Community Activation for Prevention), which is not on this map. Cited by 10 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.

Abstract
Background: Gardening has been associated with greater fruit and vegetable intake, but few randomized trials have been conducted. Objectives: We sought: Methods: A randomized controlled trial of community gardening was conducted in Denver, Colorado, USA. Post hoc quantitative difference score analysis and mediation analysis were conducted by comparing intervention group participants who were randomized to receive a community garden plot, plants and seeds, and a gardening class with control group participants who were randomized to remain on a waitlist for a community garden plot ( Results: The average age of participants was 41 y, 82% of them were female, and 34% of them were Hispanic. Compared with control participants, from baseline to harvest, community gardeners significantly increased their intake of total vegetables by 0.63 servings ( Conclusions: Community gardening increased vegetable intake through increased seasonal eating. Community gardening should be recognized as an important setting for improving diets.This trial was registered in ClinicalTrials.gov as NCT03089177 (https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT03089177).
