Cost and affordability of three levels of diet quality for urban households in Colombia.
Article in Public health nutrition, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveTo determine the minimum cost and affordability of three levels of diet quality in urban households in Cali, Colombia: a caloric-adequate diet, a nutrient-adequate diet and a recommended diet.
designLeast-cost diets were estimated for different demographic groups. The cost of caloric adequacy (CoCA) and the cost of nutrient adequacy (CoNA) were computed using linear programming models. The cost of recommended diet (CoRD) adheres to Colombia's Food-Based Dietary Guidelines. Individualised costs were aggregated for a representative household, and affordability was assessed by comparing these costs with household food expenditures. Data sources included the National Administrative Department of Statistics, the Ministry of Health and Social Protection and the Colombia Institute of Family Welfare.
settingCali, Colombia.
participantsThe per capita income and food expenditures of 885 urban households in Cali, taken from Colombia's Great Integrated Household Survey.
resultsThe CoNA per 1000 kcal indicates that women require more nutrient-dense diets than men. Limiting nutrients include vitamin C, vitamin A, vitamin B
conclusionsUrban households face significant barriers not only to affording diets that promote long-term health but also to those that meet nutritional requirements.
