Support for Foods Allowed Under the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.
Article in American journal of preventive medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
introductionMillions of U.S. families rely on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) to afford food. Congress has proposed changing the items eligible for purchase with SNAP, which could influence participants' diets. Understanding attitudes towards these changes overall, by political party, and by SNAP participation can identify proposals with bipartisan support and center SNAP participant preferences.
methodsThis cross-sectional survey of U.S. adults (n=4,470) from November 3-14, 2023, evaluated support for 4 changes to SNAP purchases. In 2024, descriptive statistics and logistic regression were used to evaluate overall support for these 4 policies and to test for differences by political party and SNAP participation.
resultsA majority of U.S. adults (68.1%) across political parties supported allowing the purchase of hot and prepared foods under SNAP. A slim majority (51.6%) supported creating nutrition guidelines to guide allowable items. Policies to exclude sugary drinks (38.7%) and unhealthy items generally (46.2%) were less popular.
conclusionsPolicies to expand SNAP were more popular than restrictions, both overall and across political parties, and restrictions were particularly unpopular among SNAP participants. Bipartisan support for policies to expand SNAP may help these proposals advance during Farm Bill negotiations and would align with the preferences of SNAP participants.
