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

Introduction: Insufficient and unequal access to food (i.e. food insecurity [FI]) has a negative impact on health, especially in vulnerable groups such as adolescents. This study determined the prevalence of FI and its sociodemographic correlates among adolescents in the Methods: A secondary analysis was conducted using data from the Eating Healthy and Daily Life Activities (EHDLA) study, which provides a sample of 882 adolescents (median = 14, interquartile range [IQR] = 2) collected during the 2021-2022 academic year. FI was measured using the Child Food Security Survey Module in Spanish (CFSSM-S). Results: Findings showed a prevalence of FI of 16.2%, with significant sociodemographic disparities. Adolescents from immigrant (n: 67; %: 46.9; odds ratio [OR] = 2.41; 95% CI: 1.38 to 4.21) and diverse (n: 25; %: 17.5; OR=2.04; 95% CI: 1.10 to 3.79) families showed a higher susceptibility to FI. In addition, higher parental education was related to lower FI (university education: n: 13; %: 9.6; OR=0.36; 95% CI: 0.17 to 0.74). Conclusion: These findings highlight the need for targeted public health policies that improve access to nutritious food, enhance parental education, and address socioeconomic inequalities to effectively reduce FI among Spanish adolescents.
