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

Background: Longer-term (≥1 y) associations between federal food assistance and federal nutrition education with BMI are unclear. Objectives: This exploratory study determined the relationship of participation in a federal nutrition education intervention and self-selected food assistance program participation, and their combination on BMI for ≥1 y. Methods: Women (≥18 y) from Indiana, the United States were experimentally assigned to receive federal nutrition education of the United States (US) Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program-Education (SNAP-Ed) program, including the 4 lessons fulfilling SNAP-Ed guidance ( Results: Obesity was classified for most participants (>60%) at both time points. BMI did not differ, nor were differences observed in BMI change >1 y based on receiving SNAP-Ed, food assistance programs, or their combination. Conclusions: Weight was constant >1 y regardless of receiving federal nutrition education, food assistance programs, or their combination, suggesting neither these programs nor their combination cause weight gain among low-income US women in this preliminary study of these interventions among this sample.
