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: This study evaluates whether a medically tailored grocery intervention supported by community health workers improves clinical, behavioral, and social outcomes among patients with diet-related chronic conditions. The Delaware Food Farmacy (DFF), a six-month program implemented by ChristianaCare, targeted adults with diabetes, hypertension, or heart failure. Methods: This retrospective pre-post quasi-experimental study analyzed intake and six-month data for 185 participants enrolled between 2021 and 2024. Participants received weekly home deliveries of groceries aligned with the DASH diet, cooking tools, and ongoing support from community health workers (CHWs). Outcomes included food security, depression (PHQ-9), anxiety (GAD-7), BMI, blood pressure, and HbA1c. Results: Results indicated significant improvements in food security ( Conclusions: Findings demonstrate that medically tailored grocery programs supported by community health workers can produce measurable improvements in health and social outcomes among medically complex, low-income adults, offering a scalable, equity-oriented model to address chronic disease and inform value-based reimbursement pathways.
