Diet Quality of Community Café Meals Among Guests With Food Insecurity.
Article in Journal of nutrition education and behavior, 2024. 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
objectiveCompare the diet quality of a meal consumed at a community café (café meals), a pay-what-you-can restaurant, to a meal consumed for an equivalent eating occasion on the day before (comparison meal) by guests with food insecurity.
methodsDietary recalls were collected from café guests with food insecurity to determine the Healthy Eating Index-2020 (HEI-2020) total and component scores. Healthy Eating Index-2020 scores were compared between meals using paired-sample t tests and Wilcoxon signed-rank tests.
resultsMost participants (n = 40; 80% male; 42.5% Black) had very low food security (70.0%). Café meal had a higher HEI-2020 total score (46.7 ± 10.5 vs 34.4 ± 11.6; P < 0.001) and total vegetables (2.6 ± 2.0 vs 1.2 ± 1.7; P = 0.004), total fruits (2.1 ± 2.2 vs 0.6 ± 1.5; P < 0.001), whole fruits (1.6 ± 2.0 vs 0.3 ± 0.9; P < 0.001), and refined grains (7.8 ± 3.5 vs 3.9 ± 3.9; P < 0.001) scores than comparison meals. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS: The café meal had better diet quality than the comparison meal, suggesting its potential for improving diet quality among guests with food insecurity.
