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

Background: Food as Medicine is a rapidly developing area of health care in the United States, aimed at concurrently addressing nutrition-sensitive chronic conditions and food and nutrition insecurity. Recipe4Health (R4H) is a Food as Medicine program with an integrative health equity focus. It provides prescriptions for locally grown produce ('Food Farmacy') with or without integrative group medical visits, alongside training for clinic staff. Objectives: To describe the initial implementation of R4H in four Federally Qualified Health Centers in Northern California, using a convergent mixed-methods approach. Methods: We used the Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation and Maintenance (RE-AIM) implementation science framework to assess the first two years of R4H (2020-2022). We draw from 40 interviews (26 partner organization staff, 14 patients) and program data on reach and adoption. Qualitative data were analyzed using codebook thematic analysis. Results: Conclusion: Centralized implementation, training, and administration of Food as Medicine programs can strengthen community health centers' capacities to concurrently address chronic conditions and food insecurity. Multi-sector partnerships can support Food as Medicine program sustainability.
