1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

objectivesCeliac disease (CD) is an autoimmune gastrointestinal disorder that requires a strict lifelong gluten-free diet (GFD). Gluten-free (GF) foods are more expensive and less readily accessible than gluten-containing foods, contributing to an increased risk for food insecurity (FI). The study aimed to determine associations between GF-FI, sociodemographic risk factors and child dietary adherence and diet quality (DQ).

methodsA 26-item, cross-country online survey was administered through social media to parents of children with CD on the GFD. The survey elicited household and CD child sociodemographic and clinical characteristics (e.g., duration of CD), measures of household FI, child DQ and GFD adherence, and parents' concerns related to GF food. Household GF-FI was evaluated using the validated Hunger Vital Sign™ and the US Department of Agriculture Six-Item Short Form Household Food Security Survey Module.

resultsGF-FI occurred in 47% of households with children with CD with >30% reporting low to very low food security. Sociodemographic risk factors identified included lower income, renters, rural residency, single-parental households, and having children with additional dietary restrictions (p < 0.001). Regardless of FI status, a majority of households reported experiencing significantly higher GF food expenditure. GF-FI was associated with reduced adherence to the GFD, increased consumption of processed GF food, and lower intakes of fresh fruits and vegetables and GF grains among children with CD (p < 0.05).

conclusionsGF-FI is prevalent in this multiethnic cohort of households with CD children and is associated with worsening DQ and GFD adherence. Policy interventions are urgently needed to address GF-FI.
