Nutrition Security Among Medicaid Patients With Diabetes or Prediabetes After Completing a Produce Prescription Program.
Observational study in Annals of family medicine, 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
purposeTo increase access to fresh produce for Medicaid patients with type 2 diabetes or prediabetes, a local health department partnered with 3 Federally Qualified Health Centers to implement a produce prescription program in Los Angeles County. Program participants received $40 per month for 6 months through an electronic debit card to purchase fresh fruits and vegetables at participating grocery stores. This observational study assessed improvements in participants' nutrition security, defined as the consistent access, availability, and affordability of foods and beverages that promote well-being and prevent disease.
methodsProgram participants completed a questionnaire that included a 2-item household nutrition security screening tool and a 6-item household food security module at the program's beginning (baseline) and end (follow-up). Analyses were based on 1,309 participants who completed the questionnaire at both time points.
resultsAfter completing the program, the proportion of participants who reported being nutrition secure increased by an absolute 15.5% from baseline (from 23.2% to 38.7%). This improvement in nutrition security was statistically significant after adjusting for sociodemographics, baseline food security status, and fruit and vegetable consumption (adjusted odds ratio = 2.95; 95% CI, 2.11-4.13). Despite the nutrition incentive, most participants (85.6% vs 88.4% at baseline,
conclusionsThis "food as medicine" intervention demonstrated short-term improvements in nutrition security among Medicaid patients with diabetes or prediabetes, suggesting it successfully fulfilled a basic social and disease management need of this population.
