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

objectiveLittle is known about food insecurity in Asian Americans (AA). We examined age/ethnic subgroup differences in food insecurity among AA in California.

designWe examined associations between food insecurity and socio-demographic characteristics among AA (Chinese, Filipino, Korean, and Vietnamese) using the

settingCalifornia.

participantsWe used data from the California Health Interview Survey (2011-2018) for AA categorised by age (18-39, 40-59 and 60+ years).

resultsFood insecurity prevalence varied by subgroup, with the highest observed in older adult (aged 60+ years) Vietnamese (26 %). Between 2011-2014 and 2015-2018, food insecurity prevalence increased 20-45 % across older adults, but showed a decreasing trend among younger adults. Being foreign born and speaking a language other than English at home were associated with increased food insecurity.

conclusionsCommunity-engaged research to develop culturally appropriate strategies for mitigating food insecurity among older AA is warranted.
