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: The prevalence of food insecurity (FI) is increasing worldwide, leading to several health issues. The impact of FI on adverse health outcomes, especially on food consumption, may be partly influenced by the strategies that household members use to cope with limited food access. This study sought to examine the moderating effect of coping strategies on the relationship between FI and food consumption among Lebanese adults. Methods: A total of 385 Lebanese adults participated in this cross-sectional study. FI and food consumption were evaluated using the Household Food Insecurity Access Scale and the Food Consumption Score, respectively. Coping strategies were measured using the Coping Strategy Index. Results: The moderation analysis results showed that FI was not significantly associated with food consumption ( Conclusion: Our results underscore the complex interplay between FI and coping strategies, highlighting the importance of targeted interventions that strengthen adaptive coping mechanisms to mitigate the adverse effects of FI on nutritional well-being. Future research should identify the specific coping strategies individuals adopt in response to FI and examine their long-term effects on food consumption through longitudinal studies. Policy initiatives and intervention programs that integrate food security measures with coping strategy support may help alleviate the negative consequences of FI.
