A Meta-Ethnography to Determine Critical Constructs of Nutrition Security.
Article in Journal of nutrition education and behavior, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
objectiveThis meta-ethnography aimed to examine and thematically analyze relevant qualitative studies to create a nutrition security conceptual framework.
designFollowing the 7-step process for a meta-ethnography, we screened 6,831 studies and included eligible papers relating to nutrition security.
settingUS-based studies.
participants2,709 participants in 58 qualitative papers reviewed. PHENOMENON OF INTEREST: Nutrition security.
interventionNot applicable. ANALYSIS: Two researchers independently read and extracted data from each paper. This information was then combined, and 2 investigators generated themes to determine critical constructs of nutrition security. Constructs were then combined into a conceptual model.
resultsThe final conceptual framework includes 2 primary constructs (environmental circumstances and psychosocial functioning), 16 secondary constructs, and 51 tertiary constructs of nutrition security. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS: This is the first meta-ethnography to focus on concepts related to nutrition security rather than food security. There is an overlap between our findings and the existing framework for food security, including the 6 pillars of food security and the 5 domains of food access. An improved understanding of nutrition security and the proposed conceptual framework established will help guide the development of improved nutrition security measures and interventions to improve diet quality and overall health.
