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
objectiveWe assessed if food insecurity (FI) is associated with not obtaining recommended diabetes medications, technology, and multidisciplinary services, and explored the most common reasons for not obtaining recommended treatments in youth and young adults (YYA) with diabetes.
methodsIn this cross-sectional study, among 911 YYA with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and 144 with type 2 diabetes (T2D) from the SEARCH Food Security Cohort Study Follow-up 1 (2018-2021), FI (≥ 3 items affirmed from the 18-item Household Food Security Survey module), and inability to obtain recommended treatments were self-reported.
resultsAlmost 30% of YYA with T1D and FI and 20% of YYA with T2D and FI did not obtain 1 or more recommended treatments. Participants with T1D who reported FI had higher odds of not obtaining insulin (OR 3.2, 95% CI 1.2-8.4), mental health counseling (OR 3.3, 95% CI 1.3-8.2), diabetes education (OR 3.6, 95% CI 1.4-9.3), an insulin pump (OR 2.2, 95% CI 1.2-4.4), and a continuous glucose monitor (OR 2.5, 95% CI 1.5-4.4) compared to those who reported food security. Among participants with T2D, FI was related to not obtaining dietician services (OR 8.1, 95% CI 1.2-53.8). Participants with T1D and FI reported more financial reasons for not obtaining a continuous glucose monitor compared to food secure participants.
conclusionYYA with diabetes and FI face constraints in obtaining medications, diabetes technology, and multidisciplinary services, largely due to financial and structural reasons. New strategies are needed to bridge the gap between medical care required vs obtained by YYA with diabetes.
