Food Assistance to Financially Insecure Children and Adolescents With Chronic Kidney Disease: Impact on Disease Progression.
Article in Journal of renal nutrition : the official journal of the Council on Renal Nutrition of the National Kidney Foundation, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectivesIn North American children with chronic kidney disease (CKD), poverty correlates with faster disease progression. As an aspect of poverty, food insecurity is common among these children, yet its impact on CKD progression is underexplored. The purpose of this study was to assess the impact of food assistance (FA) on CKD progression by comparing the cumulative incidence and the hazard of kidney replacement therapy (KRT) initiation in those who reported receiving FA to those who did not. DESIGN AND
methodsThis study included longitudinal data collected over 10 years of follow-up from a subset of 266 participants from the Chronic Kidney Disease in Children prospective cohort study whose annual household income was ≤$36,000 to assess the association between FA and KRT initiation.
resultsOver 388 person-years in which FA was reported, 21 KRT events occurred (KRT incidence rate of 5.4 per 100 person-years and estimated 10-year cumulative incidence of KRT of 41%), while during 592 person-years with no FA, 44 KRT events occurred (KRT incidence rate of 7.4 per 100 person-years and estimated 10-year cumulative incidence of KRT of 55%). FA recipients showed a trend toward a lower hazard of KRT initiation over 10 years of follow-up than those not receiving FA.
conclusionOur findings suggest that sustained FA participation may mitigate CKD progression. The study contributes to the growing body of evidence on the potential role of food security, including FA, in mitigating CKD outcomes among children.
