Factors Influencing Food Choice of Older Black African Adults in the United Kingdom.
Article in Sage open aging. 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
Background: Research shows Black African communities in the UK maintain bicultural dietary patterns combining Westernised and African practices. However, limited research exists on older African adults, who face complex nutrition challenges owing to interacting social and cultural factors affecting health in later life. This study explored factors influencing food choices among older African adults. Methods: Using Photovoice, an innovative community-based participatory research method, 12 purposively sampled participants were given cameras to photograph their thoughts on eating well and older adults' health. Semi-structured interviews explored the photos, with thematic analysis conducted on photos and transcripts using an inductive approach. Results: Participants averaged 62 ± 5.4 years; 75% were female, 58.3% married, 41.7% lived with family, 50% held postgraduate degrees, and 66.7% were fully employed. Key determinants included social, emotional, cultural, age-related health conditions, knowledge, accessibility, nutrition perceptions, creativity, adaptation, technology use, convenience, cost, and time. Conclusions: This research provides new insights into how older African adults manage the rich, complicated intersection of cultural identity, health needs to support nutrition in ageing. Further research into adaptive strategies, intersectional solutions on culture, health, sociality and technological innovation is warranted to inform culturally tailored age-sensitive interventions for older African adults.
