Food Insecurity, Diet and Health Outcomes in Pediatric Inflammatory Bowel Disease: A Pilot Study.
Article in Nutrients, 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
BACKGROUND/
objectivesFood insecurity (FI) is a well-defined factor in pediatric health outcomes and has been associated with lower diet quality. While poor diet quality has been linked to the rising prevalence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), little is known about the impact of FI on pediatric IBD. This pilot study explores the feasibility and potential impact of FI on dietary intake and clinical outcomes in children with newly diagnosed IBD.
methodsThis pilot study included newly diagnosed IBD patients aged 5 to 18. FI screening was completed using the USDA 6-item and AAP 2-item screeners at diagnosis and 6 months. Dietary intake was classified according to their degree of processing (NOVA classification). Clinical data, anthropometrics, and healthcare utilization were collected over 6 months.
resultsAmong 20 patients, FI was identified in 40% of families. Food-insecure patients had significantly lower weight and BMI z-scores at diagnosis compared to food-secure peers (
conclusionsFI is common in pediatric IBD and associated with poorer nutritional status. FI was associated with higher consumption of UPFs, although diet quality was poor among most patients. Future studies should validate these findings in large cohorts and evaluate longitudinal interventions.
