Food Insecurity Prevalence and Risk Factors among Persons with HIV in a Southeastern US Clinical Care Setting.
Article in AIDS and behavior, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
Food insecurity (FI) is associated with adverse health outcomes for persons with HIV (PWH). Little is known about FI among PWH in southern or non-urban settings. We examined FI prevalence, risk factors, and access to services in a southeastern HIV clinic. Among PWH in the UNC CFAR HIV Clinical Cohort who were screened for FI as part of HIV care between 2021 and 2022, we estimated unadjusted prevalence ratios (PRs) comparing the probability of reporting FI by demographic and clinical characteristics. The 479 PWH screened for FI were 65% cisgender men, 62% non-Hispanic Black PWH, a median of 54 years old (IQR 41-62), and 93% with an HIV viral load (VL) < 200 copies/mL. FI prevalence was 36.3% (95% CI 32.3%-40.9%). Cisgender women and transgender adults were more likely to report FI than cisgender men (PRs 1.24 [95% CI 0.97-1.59] and 2.03 [1.32-3.12], respectively). Compared with White PWH, the PR was 1.71 (1.20-2.42) for Black and 2.44 (1.56-3.82) for Hispanic PWH. The PR was 1.42 (0.98-2.05) for PWH with VL ≥ 200 versus < 200 copies/mL. Having no or public versus private health insurance was also associated with FI. PWH with FI had a high prevalence of comorbidities including hypercholesterolemia (49%) and hypertension (48%), though these were not associated with FI. Almost half of PWH with FI were not accessing a food pantry or nutrition assistance program. Identifying FI in PWH is critical as FI is common and may contribute to viral non-suppression, poor comorbidity control, and gender and racial/ethnic health disparities in PWH.
