The association between public health unit funding and vegetable and fruit intake in Ontario: A multilevel analysis of the 2013-2014 Canadian Community Health Survey.

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
objectiveRobust public health systems are vital for preventing disease and injury, improving well-being, and promoting health equity. The study objective was to estimate the association between public health funding and fruit and vegetable intake.
methodsParticipants were residents aged 12 years and older living within 34 public health unit (PHU) regions in Ontario, Canada (n = 36,500). Secondary cross-sectional data from the population-representative 2013-2014 Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS) were used. Vegetable and fruit intake was self reported in the CCHS along with individual covariates. PHU funding per capita and other area-level social characteristics were measured at the level of the public health region.
resultsPHU funding per capita was not associated with vegetable and fruit intake overall (OR = 1.02, 95% CI 0.97, 1.07) or in gender-stratified analyses (males: OR = 1.06, 95% CI 0.99, 1.13; females: OR = 0.98, 95% CI 0.92, 1.05). Associations were not heterogenous across various sociodemographic indicators (age, gender, race, marital status, country of birth, education, income, urbanicity).
conclusionPHU funding per capita was not associated with vegetable and fruit intake. More refined measures of PHU funding for vegetable and fruit intake may be beneficial for future research.
