1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

objectiveTo examine community food and nutrition assistance providers' perceptions of Latino adults with limited income and limited English proficiency (LEP), and the services provided to them.

designIn-depth semistructured interviews.

settingUS (2022).

participantsCommunity food and nutrition assistance providers (n = 20) ANALYSIS: Verbatim transcripts were analyzed using thematic content analysis, fitted into a theory on language use, social positioning, and Latino adults' health. Member checking verified the findings.

resultsSubordinate social positions of Latino adults with LEP when procuring community food and nutrition assistance stemmed from perceived authority (community food and nutrition assistance providers' social power), loss of Latino participants' adequation (social isolation), and their diminished authentication (barriers to validate information). CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS: Subordinate social positioning in community food and nutrition assistance procurement among Latino adults with LEP may persist because of structures favoring those English proficient. Evaluating approaches that intentionally design community food and nutrition assistance for this population is needed to inform their influence on these structures.
