Nationwide Analysis of Food Insecurity among Individuals with Inflammatory Bowel Disease in the United States.
Article in Inflammatory bowel diseases, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundDiet impacts symptoms and inflammation in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), but limited food access restricts options and hampers adherence to diets that may help in the management of IBD. This study aims to measure the prevalence of food insecurity and characterize its risk factors in the adult population across the United States.
methodsThe 2023, 2016, and 2015 National Health Interview Surveys were queried for individuals with and without IBD. Food insecurity prevalence and sociodemographic characteristics were compared. Multivariable logistic regression identified factors associated with food insecurity risk, while considering the survey's complex sampling design.
resultsIn 2023, a significantly higher proportion of individuals with IBD (n = 4 289 979) reported food insecurity compared to those without IBD (n = 253 490 081) (13.48% vs 8.96%, P = 0.01). The pooled 2015-2016 data showed similar findings (12.43% vs 9.43%, P < 0.01). No significant difference was found across these periods (P = 0.63). Multivariable models linked higher food insecurity risk with IBD status (OR 1.85, P < 0.01), female sex (OR 1.16, P < 0.01), Hispanic ethnicity (OR 1.24, P < 0.01), non-Hispanic Black race (OR 1.88, P < 0.01), having Medicaid (OR 1.85, P < 0.01), being uninsured (OR 2.02, P < 0.01), and use of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) (OR 2.49, P < 0.01).
conclusionsIndividuals with IBD face a persistently higher risk of food insecurity. Some of the most important predictors included being non-Hispanic Black, being uninsured or having Medicaid insurance, and using SNAP. Clinicians should regularly screen patients with IBD for food insecurity and address it through a multidisciplinary approach, involving dietitians and social workers to enhance patient care and outcomes.
