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
objectiveThis study aimed to analyze the association between socioeconomic conditions and food insecurity (FI) in the perception of quality of life (QoL) of older adults living in a capital of the Northeast of Brazil.
methodThis cross-sectional study included 190 older adults selected through probabilistic sampling. FI was evaluated by the Brazilian Food Insecurity Scale (EBIA) and QoL by the WHOQOL-BREF and WHOQOL-OLD questionnaires. Socioeconomic information was collected through in-person interviews, with responses recorded using an electronic questionnaire developed on the EpiCollect5 digital platform (available for smartphones, tablets, and web). Statistical analyses included absolute and percentage frequencies and Poisson regression with robust variance.
resultThe main results showed that, in the WHOQOL-BREF questionnaire, being in FI increased the probability of having a worse perception of QoL in the psychological (PR=1.47; 95%CI 1.10-1.66) and environmental (PR=1.70; 95%CI 1.21-2.41) domains. Considering the WHOQoL-OLD questionnaire, FI was associated with a worse perception of QoL in the domains of sense functioning (PR=1.46; 95% CI 1.06-2.00), autonomy (PR=1.57; 95% CI 1.13-2.18), present, past and future activities (PR=1.75; 95% CI 1.23-2.49), social participation (PR=1.34; 95% CI 1.01-1.79), death, dying (PR=1.90; 95% CI 1.34-2.68) and in the total score (PR=2.28; 95% CI 1.62-3.20).
conclusionThe results show that the household's FI condition can have a negative impact on older adults' perception of QoL.
