Food insecurity and employment income: considerations regarding gender inequalities.

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
objectiveTo investigate the associations among income from work, the gender of the reference person, family and food insecurity (FI).
designThis quantitative study used nationally representative data from the 2018 Brazilian Family Budget Survey.
settingThe analyses estimated levels of food security and insecurity measured by the Brazilian Food Insecurity Scale according to labour income determined by the minimum wage per capita and the sex of the reference person (female/male). The logistic regression model measured the interaction between work income and gender in association with household FI.
participantsBrazilian families living in permanent households with at least one resident earning income from employment (
resultsHouseholds headed by women and with labour income ≤ ¼ minimum wage per capita had the highest percentage of moderate/severe FI (29·7 %). In these families and households with lower levels of employment income headed by men, the highest probabilities of moderate/severe FI were observed, at 10·8 and 9·6, respectively, compared with families with higher levels of employment income headed by men.
conclusionsLower employment income contributes to FI in families, especially those that are headed by women. The socialisation of care work and the reduction in paid labour hours contribute to greater access to the labour market for women and a lower likelihood of FI.
