Food Insufficiency Increased After The Expiration Of COVID-19 Emergency Allotments For SNAP Benefits In 2023.
Article in Health affairs (Project Hope), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
In response to economic distress and food insecurity during the COVID-19 pandemic, Congress expanded the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) by introducing emergency allotments to increase monthly benefits, starting in March 2020. In March 2023, emergency allotments expired in the thirty-five states and territories still offering them. We provide some of the first evidence of the impacts of this loss of nutrition support-in some cases, more than $250 a month-for economically disadvantaged households. Our quasi-experimental study examined the effects of the program's expiration on food insufficiency, mental health, and financial well-being, using data from the Census Bureau's Household Pulse Survey. In difference-in-differences analyses, we compared pre-post differences among SNAP participants with pre-post differences among income-eligible nonparticipants. The emergency allotment expiration led to a substantial increase in food insufficiency (8.4 percentage points) and greater food pantry use (2.1 percentage points) and difficulty paying expenses (2.0 percentage points). Non-Hispanic Black SNAP participants experienced a greater increase in anxiety symptoms compared with non-Hispanic White SNAP participants. This study has implications for ongoing policy making with respect to nutrition and safety-net programs to support vulnerable families, especially amid inflated food prices.
