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

backgroundChanges in foods consumed by immigrants after arrival to the US are hypothesized to affect health, yet measuring changes in diet after migration is difficult. This study identified patterns of foods newly consumed and no longer consumed among a nationally representative cohort of immigrants resettled in the US.

methodsWe utilized data from 4,937 participants in the New Immigrant Survey (NIS) (average year of entry to US: 1996 [1950-2003]) who completed a freelist module listing foods they had started and stopped eating since resettling in the US. We employed principal components analysis on 24 food groups iteratively and examined differences across gender and time since arrival.

resultsThe most common food pattern no longer consumed consisted of foods connected to a respondent's home country. Patterns of foods no longer consumed after migration were similar across gender and years in the US. Patterns of foods consumed after migration to the US differed by gender, particularly with women adopting patterns that included fruits and vegetables while men adopted patterns that included junk foods.

conclusionsWe found that, among those who changed their diet post-migration, there are distinct differences in how individuals change their diet based on multiple factors.
