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
Introduction: Food insecurity is a multidimensional issue that has been related with poor overall health, obesity and chronic diseases and not only related with increased prevalence of diabetes but also with increasing health care expenses. There is paucity of researches conducted to assess food insecurity and its associated factors among adult diabetic clients in Ethiopia. Hence this study was aimed to assess food insecurity and its associated factors among adult diabetic patients in Gambella town public hospitals. Methods: A facility based cross sectional study was conducted among adult diabetic clients in Gambella town public hospital from May 1 to June 30, 2023. A systematic sampling technique was used to select a sample of 412 patients. Data were collected by trained data collectors using structured questionnaires. Data were checked for its completeness and consistence then entered into Epidata 4.6 and transported to SPSS version 26 for analysis. Bivariate analysis was done to make variables candidate for multivariate analysis at p-value <0.25. In multivariate analysis AOR with 95% CI were used to declare factors associated with food insecurity at p-value <0.05. Results: The prevalence of food insecurity was found to be 59.5% (95% CI: 54.6%-64.3%). In multivariate analysis the variables age 18 to 24 years (AOR=0.093,95% CI:0.02-0.30), able to read and write (AOR=4.31, CI:1.246-11.250), employed (AOR=0.20; 95% CI: 0.063-0.63), low wealth status (AOR=3.02, CI:1.265-4.788) OR=2.46, CI:1.265-4.788), medium wealth status (AOR=1.88, CI:1.002-3.815). Family size (AOR=0.48; 95% CI: 0.27-0.87), and family history of diabetes (AOR=2.86, CI: 1.43- 5.72) were significantly associated with food insecurity. income and (AOR=1.88, CI:1.002-3.815). Conclusion and recommendations: The prevalence of food insecurity among adult diabetic patients was high. Therefore, health professionals should give emphasis to encourage self-management for those who have family history of diabetes in order to screen the clients at early before the occurrence of DM complication and health care expenditure.
