Development, validation, and reliability testing of the College Perspectives around Food Insecurity survey.
Article in PloS one, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The objective of this study was to develop and to test the validity and reliability of a survey aimed to evaluate internal and external factors associated with college food insecurity. Researchers used a mixed methods approach to evaluate the College Perspectives around Food Insecurity survey. Survey items were constructed from interview data and assigned a social cognitive theory concept (environment, personal, or behavior). Two rounds of expert reviews established content validity (Round 1, n = 3; Round 2, n = 2). Researchers evaluated face validity through two rounds of cognitive interviews with college students 18+ years old (Round 1, n = 9; Round 2, n = 16) and tested survey reliability (n = 105). Researchers used descriptive statistics, test-retest reliability statistics, and Cronbach's alpha scores for data analysis. The initial survey contained 143 items. After feedback from expert reviewers and cognitive interviews, the final survey contained 99 items. Test-retest reliability was 0.99, and Cronbach's alpha scores were 0.74 for environment, 0.47 for personal, and 0.39 for behavior. The College Perspectives around Food Insecurity survey can be used to better understand internal and external factors associated with food insecurity in college students, which can inform interventions aimed at assisting this population.
