Persistent Food Insecurity Among Older Adult Cancer Survivors: A National Cohort Study.
Article in Oncology nursing forum, 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
objectivesTo describe the trajectories of food insecurity and examine their associations with sociodemographic and health-related factors in older adult cancer survivors. SAMPLE &
settingData from 2015 to 2021 from the National Health and Aging Trends Study, a nationally representative cohort study of community-dwelling older adults aged 65 years or older, were extracted and analyzed. METHODS & VARIABLES: Food insecurity was annually measured based on five self-reported items. Group-based trajectory modeling was used to identify food insecurity trajectory groups. Data analysis accounted for the complex survey design and analytic weights.
resultsThe sample consisted of 1,935 older adult cancer survivors. The weighted prevalence of food insecurity ranged from 2.46% to 4.73% from 2015 to 2021. The following two food insecurity trajectory groups were identified: low-stable (n = 1,796, 93%) and medium-stable (n = 139, 7%). Individuals who were younger, female, not non-Hispanic and White, and physically frail, and those with lower household income and higher levels of anxiety and depression, were more likely to experience persistent food insecurity. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING: Food security in older adult survivors is persistent and distributed inequitably among those who are female, not non-Hispanic and White, and younger, and those with lower household income.
