Food Insecurity Associated With Higher Odds of Hypertriglyceridemic Waist Phenotype in Women: A Cross-Sectional Study.

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
Food insecurity has been linked to obesity, central adiposity, and dyslipidemia, with women particularly vulnerable. These consequences align with the hypertriglyceridemic waist (HTGW) phenotype, a determinant of visceral adiposity and cardiometabolic risk. Although prior studies suggest associations between FI, waist circumference, and triglyceride levels, direct evidence on FI and HTGW remains scarce, especially in Middle Eastern populations. The present investigation assessed the potential link between food insecurity and the hypertriglyceridemic waist phenotype among overweight and obese Iranian women. In this cross-sectional study, 250 overweight and obese women dietary intake was assessed using a validated 147-item (FFQ), and household food security was evaluated with the 18-item USDA (HFSS). Anthropometric measures and body composition were obtained via bioelectrical impedance analysis. Physical activity was assessed using the validated IPAQ. Participants were grouped based on waist circumference and triglycerides: WC < 88 cm and TG < 150 mg/dL were classified as normal waist and triglycerides, while WC ≥ 88 cm and TG ≥ 150 mg/dL were considered to have the hypertriglyceridemic waist (HTGW) phenotype. Analyses were performed in SPSS version 25. A significant positive association was found between food insecurity and the HTGW phenotype. In unadjusted analysis, food-insecure women had higher odds of HTGW compared to food-secure women (OR = 2.24, 95% CI =1.19-4.20,
