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

Background: The Roma community in Jordan, as in other parts of the world, often resides in informal settlements with limited access to employment, education, and basic services, increasing their vulnerability to food insecurity and poor health. Objective: This study examined the prevalence and predictors of food insecurity among Roma adults in Jordan living with chronic diseases. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted among 347 Roma individuals with at least one chronic illness across four governorates. Data on demographics, health behaviors, and food security status were collected through structured questionnaire interviews. Analysis was performed using descriptive statistics and binary logistic regression to identify associated factors. Results: Food insecurity was widespread, with 75.6% of participants reporting low food security and 14.9% very low food security. Logistic regression identified key predictors: having two or more chronic conditions increased risk (OR = 2.21, 95% CI [1.13, 4.32], Conclusion: Food insecurity is highly prevalent among Roma with chronic diseases in Jordan. Addressing this issue through targeted nutritional and healthcare interventions is vital to reduce disease burden and health disparities in this marginalized population.
