A Systematic Review of Interventions for Obesity Among Adults With Food Insecurity.
Synthesis in The Journal of cardiovascular nursing. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectiveFood insecurity is associated with reduced dietary quality and excess weight gain. However, interventions that are effective for obesity among individuals with food insecurity are unclear. The purpose of this systematic review was to synthesize studies in which authors examined interventions for obesity among adults with food insecurity.
methodsPubMed, PsycINFO, CINAHL, and EMBASE were searched from inception to October 2022. Studies were included if their authors reported on nonpharmacological and nonsurgical interventions that focused on adults with food insecurity and overweight/obesity and reported weight loss.
resultsA total of 1360 titles were reviewed during the electronic search, and only 5 studies met inclusion criteria. There were 2 primary types of interventions that have been tested: first, behavioral weight loss counseling with or without tailoring for individuals with food insecurity and, second, subsidies for food. Findings of the benefits of one type of intervention over another are mixed.
conclusionsThis systematic review highlights that the current evidence for interventions that address food insecurity and obesity is mixed and limited in scope. There is a need for rigorous controlled trials to examine the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of interventions for weight management among individuals with food insecurity and obesity while considering sustainability.
