Dietary pattern among seasonal agricultural migrant workers from African countries in Spain.
Article in Public health nutrition, 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
objectiveThe Spanish agricultural sector depends on seasonal agricultural migrant workers. This study aimed to examine the associations among dietary patterns, sociodemographic factors and food security among seasonal agricultural workers.
designA cross-sectional multicentre study. The dietary pattern was evaluated according to the Spanish Society of Community Nutrition recommendations for the adult population. Descriptive analysis was disaggregated according to sex. Multi-adjusted logistic models were used to assess the association between dietary patterns and explanatory variables.
settingWork sites and temporary accommodations in four Spanish provinces: North Spain: Lleida and La Rioja, and South Spain: Almeria and Huelva.
participantsMale and Female Seasonal Agricultural Migrant Workers (n 623).
resultsThe final sample consisted of 609 migrant agricultural workers. Of these, 36 % were female, and 61 % were classified as North African. Overall, 40 % of the participants adhered to the evaluated dietary pattern. Adherence was positively associated with North African nationality, being married or cohabiting and low socio-economic status. Not skipping meals due to economic constraints and receiving food aid emerged as key factors contributing to greater adherence to the assessed dietary pattern.
conclusionsThis study provides an initial insight into the dietary pattern of seasonal agricultural migrant workers in Spain. The findings indicate that external socio-economic and structural factors primarily shape their dietary habits. Policies aimed at enhancing food security, and other food coping strategies, such as access to food aid, are crucial for improving dietary adherence to a healthy dietary pattern.
