Food insecurity and risk of nutrition insecurity among Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program participants in Rhode Island and Connecticut, USA.
Article in Preventive medicine reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Objective: To 1) describe food insecurity and risk of nutrition insecurity (henceforth nutrition insecurity); 2) test the associations between perceived food access and neighborhood environment and food and nutrition insecurity, and differences in these associations; and 3) test the associations between food and nutrition insecurity and diet quality, among a sample of adults with low income. Methods: Between May-September 2023, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) participants in Rhode Island and Connecticut, USA ( Results: Individuals were 35 years old, on average, 92 % were women, 43 % identified as Hispanic, and 58 % and 30 % were food and nutrition insecure, respectively. The average HEI-2015 score was 64. Lack of money was associated with an 8-fold higher odds of experiencing food insecurity (95 % Confidence Interval [CI] = 5.76, 10.67). The largest magnitude of association with nutrition insecurity was having few or no full-service grocery stores nearby (Odds Ratio[OR] = 2.27; 95 % CI = 1.27, 4.06), followed by lack of money and limited transportation. Associations between food and nutrition insecurity and HEI-2015 were negative but not statistically significant. Conclusions: The prevalence of food insecurity among SNAP participants was higher than Americans, on average. Perceived food access barriers were associated with food and nutrition insecurity.
