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

objectiveWe documented the nutritional quality of a weekend food backpack program with 5 bag types tailored for ethnic food preferences and reported participants' satisfaction and usage of the program.

methodsThe Healthy Eating Index-2020 scores were calculated to assess the quality of the food items by bag type. We also recruited 49 caregivers of elementary school-aged children in Minnesota using multilingual flyers from December, 2022 to May, 2023. Caregivers' program satisfaction and usage were assessed through online surveys.

resultsThe Healthy Eating Index-2020 total scores ranged from 67 to 83 across the bag type. Participants liked 90% of the food items and used all or some of the items in 79% of the bags. CONCLUSION AND IMPLICATIONS: A tailored weekend food backpack program can provide high-quality food with high satisfaction and usage. Further research is needed to determine whether such tailored programs can improve food security and diet quality.
