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

objectiveExamine the relationship between the change in food insecurity status and depressive symptoms before and during COVID periods in undergraduates.

participantsUndergraduates (

methodsMultivariable logistic regression examined the association between (1) food insecurity and elevated depressive symptoms at each wave and (2) elevated depressive symptoms at wave 2 and change in food insecurity status from wave 1 to wave 2.

resultsFood insecure (FI) students had over twice the odds of elevated depressive symptoms at both timepoints compared to their food-secure (FS) counterparts. Compared to those who stayed FS, students who changed from FI to FS and those who remained FI had higher odds of depressive symptoms at wave 2.

conclusionsPre-pandemic FI status is a crucial factor influencing elevated depressive symptoms both before and during the pandemic.
