Enhancing food insecurity screening in pediatric celiac disease using a quality improvement framework.

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
objectivesFood insecurity (FI) affects more than 18 million households in the United States. Children with celiac disease (CeD) depend exclusively on the gluten-free diet, yet gaps persist in screening for food-insecure households who could benefit from interventions. We developed a system to identify and address barriers to FI screening in a pediatric clinic for CeD.
methodsUsing the Model for Improvement, we conducted quality initiatives for eligible households between January 1, 2024 and January 31, 2025. We surveyed the medical team to identify barriers to FI screening and designed a key driver diagram to inform plan-do-study-act cycles. We implemented a (1) validated screening form, (2) clinic flowsheet, (3) educational module, and (4) visual aid in the electronic health records. We measured the process of FI screening and documentation. We tracked outcomes on positive screens for general and gluten-free FI.
resultsAmong 100 eligible children, the majority were female (63.0%), other race (55.0%), non-Hispanic (66.0%), and primary English-speakers (80.0%); and 66 received FI screening (66.0%). We identified top team-reported barriers to FI screening: language barriers, lack of FI resources, forgetting, and discomfort with asking questions. Applying the model for Improvement, we improved median FI screening from 0.0% to ≥75.0% within 12 months and sustained screening rates for ≥6 months. The average general and gluten-free FI among screened households was 19.7% and 14.8%, respectively.
conclusionsWe implemented a systematic framework to address team-reported barriers, helping to increase FI screening for children with CeD. Developing interventions to address FI may improve poor outcomes among food-insecure households.
