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

Rickshaw pullers in Dhaka city represent a significant portion of the urban workforce, often facing challenges related to food insecurity (FI) and nutrition. This study aimed to assess the FI status, diet quality, and nutritional status of rickshaw pullers in Dhaka city. A cross-sectional study was conducted across 10 locations in Dhaka city, enrolling 400 rickshaw pullers through convenience sampling. FI was assessed using the food insecurity experience scale (FIES), and dietary data were collected using the diet quality questionnaire (DQQ). Nutritional status was evaluated through anthropometric measurements. Logistic regression models were employed to identify factors associated with the outcome variables. Approximately 60% of the participants experienced moderate-to-severe food insecurity, with 6.8% classified as severely food insecure. The majority (57.3%) reported having debt, and more than half (52.5%) expected financial support to improve their living standards. Participants with higher education (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] = 0.56,
