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
Objective: The study examined participant experiences in a community-based Food is Medicine (FIM) program for pregnant women in Delaware, focusing on program structure, support services, health impacts, and perceived dignity and respect. Methods: Using a qualitative design, 7 postpartum participants who completed the FIM pilot during pregnancy participated in semi-structured interviews that were transcribed and analyzed using thematic analysis, generating five conceptual categories and 25 themes. Results: Participants described substantial benefits, including improved food security, healthier eating behaviors, and emotional well-being supported through Community Health Workers and Case Management. They valued the program's respectful delivery, high food quality, convenient home delivery, and personalized dietary guidance. Reported challenges included limited program duration, restricted snack variety, and communication gaps related to goal-setting and resource navigation. Conclusions: Findings suggest that FIM programs tailored to pregnant women can have multidimensional effects that extend beyond nutrition to encompass economic stability, mental health, and access to social supports. The integration of Community Health Workers and participant-centered service delivery emerged as key strengths, underscoring the potential of FIM models to enhance perinatal health outcomes and equity.
