Navigating Food Insecurity: Insights From Families Participating in a Produce Delivery Program.
Article in Academic pediatrics. 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
objectiveOur pediatric primary care office enrolled families with food insecurity, transportation barriers, and children ≤5 years old in a fresh produce home delivery program. We explored families' perspectives on 1) the effect of the produce box on food insecurity, 2) changes to family dietary behaviors, and 3) barriers and facilitators to program participation.
methodsWe enrolled English- and Spanish-speaking caregivers to participate in virtual, individual semistructured interviews. Interview questions explored feedback on the produce delivery program, influence on household food insecurity, and family eating behaviors. We conducted inductive thematic analysis of interview transcripts to thematic sufficiency. We coded 1 transcript as a group, and at least 2 team members coded the remaining transcripts. The research team developed themes.
resultsTwenty-six caregivers completed interviews; 96% identified as female, 73% as non-Hispanic Black, 12% preferred Spanish. Qualitative analysis resulted in 5 themes: 1) families are resourceful in managing food insecurity and maximizing use of the produce box; 2) families struggle balancing food security and other needs; even with help from the produce boxes, finances weigh heavily on decision making; 3) the program facilitated healthier eating habits; 4) caregivers appreciated the simple, convenient, supportive program processes from referral through delivery; 5) caregivers provided constructive feedback and desired to continue enrollment.
conclusionsFresh produce home delivery facilitates healthy dietary habits and relieves stress among families experiencing food insecurity. Primary care practices can serve as trusted facilitators to connect families to community-based resources. Produce home delivery mitigates food insecurity and may promote nutrition-related outcomes.
