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

Good health is viewed as essential to enable citizens to live fulfilling lives, shape communities, and drive economic growth. However, health is socially patterned. Low socioeconomic status is associated with an increased risk of non-communicable diseases, where poor dietary patterns and diet-related obesity are likely contributors. Food purchasing can be influenced by many factors, including cost and income. Most food purchased to be consumed at home is acquired from supermarkets, and any increase in food prices disproportionately impacts low-income households, contributing to food insecurity. This study explored the factors that helped and hindered people living with obesity and food insecurity in purchasing healthy, environmentally sustainable food from supermarkets.
