Food Rx + CHW: a community health worker-led medically tailored grocery intervention to address food insecurity and type 2 diabetes, a pilot randomized trial.
Trial report in BMC public health, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06476990 (Food Rx + CHW), which is not on this map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.

Abstract
backgroundFood insecurity increases an individual's risk of poor health outcomes from costly and preventable chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes.
methodsIn this pilot study, primary care patients with self-reported food insecurity and a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes received 12 weekly home deliveries of fresh produce and shelf-stable foods. About half of the participants were also supported by a community health worker (CHW) providing nutrition education, cooking instruction, and resource linkages (Food + CHW). Participants (n=31) self-checked hemoglobin A1C, blood pressure, and weight on devices at home at three time points: baseline, three months, and six months.
resultsParticipants (84% female, 32% Black, 66% White, 22% Hispanic, and 58 years old on average) had an average HbA1c of 8%. For the Food-only group (n=15), there was no significant change in hemoglobin A1c at either time point. For the Food + CHW group (n=16), the mean change in HbA1c was -0.85 (95% CI, [-0.048, -1.66], P value = 0.039) from baseline to 3 months and -1.65 (95% CI, [-2.84 - 0.472], P value = 0.012) from baseline to 6 months and a majority of participants (81%) had a reduction in hemoglobin A1c at six months. Diastolic blood pressure for the Food-only group increased by an average of 6.5 mmHg (p= 0.02) between baseline and 3 months but remained stable for the Food + CHW group. In both groups, systolic blood pressure and weight did not change significantly. Participants in the Food + CHW group reported significant increases in daily servings of fruit, nutrition label reading, eating meals cooked from scratch, and farmer's market shopping while the Food-only group did not.
conclusionThese findings suggest that CHWs support a patient's ability to reduce hemoglobin A1c through dietary behavior changes and sustain this reduction over time. This trial was retrospectively registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT06476990) on June 20, 2024.
