Association between food insecurity and overweight: Protocol for a systematic review based on intersectionality of gender and race/color.
Article in PloS one, 2024. 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
Food insecurity violates the right to regular access to quality food, affecting population groups unequally. In Brazil, FI is associated with both malnutrition and increased obesity and is intertwined with racial and gender inequalities, perpetuating cycles of poverty and social exclusion. This protocol aims to select observational studies that evaluate the association between food insecurity and overweight and their intersectional discussions (gender and race/color). The PRISMA checklist guidelines will be applied, and the PROSPERO platform will be used for registration. Searched in the Virtual Health Library (Lilacs-BVS), Medline PubMed, Web of Science, and Embase Elsevier databases. The stages of article selection and information extraction will be carried out by independent researchers who will identify articles that meet the established inclusion criteria, removing duplicate publications and excluding those that do not meet the requirements. The quality of eligible articles will be assessed using the Quality Assessment Tool For Quantitative Studies (QATFQS), which is recommended for observational studies. This study is not needed for ethical approval, as it is a systematic review based on secondary data. They will disseminate their conclusions from the original articles. PROSPERO registration number: CRD42023427239.
