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

objectiveThis study aimed to evaluate food insecurity and associated factors during and after remote learning among undergraduates at Brazilian public universities.

methodsThis is a comparative study of two cross-sectional studies; the first had its data collection from August 2020 to February 2021, and the second from May 2023 to December 2023. The questionnaire contained socio-economic variables, the Brazilian Food Insecurity Scale, the Diet Quality Scale, and the Perceived Stress Scale.

resultsIn total, 4799 undergraduates of Brazilian public universities responded in the first study, and 2897 responded in the second. Food insecurity was present in 36.5% of the students in 2020/2021 and 35.9% of the students in 2023. In the correspondence analysis, low income, poor health, stress and poor diet were associated with food insecurity in 2020/2021. Low income, reduced income, poor health, stress and diet quality were associated with food insecurity in 2023. Logistic regressions demonstrated that the year of collection, whether during or after remote learning, did not significantly contribute to food insecurity. However, students from low-income families had the highest AOR for food insecurity; no change in income or weight and lower perceptions of stress were associated with a lower AOR for food insecurity.
