Nutrition security, diet quality, and food assistance program use among food insecure households with children: A cross-sectional analysis.
Article in Nutrition and health, 2026. 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
BackgroundWhile food insecurity (FI) assesses household access to sufficient food, increasing attention is being paid to nutrition security (NS), the ability to obtain health-promoting foods.AimThis cross-sectional analysis examined differences in sociodemographics, diet quality, and health status between food insecure families with low versus high NS and assessed if FI and NS severity was associated with food assistance program use.MethodsData were obtained from the 2023 Massachusetts Statewide Food Access Survey of >3000 adults. FI was assessed using the United States Department of Agriculture 18-item Household Food Security Module, NS via a validated four-item scale, and diet quality via the Prime Diet Quality Score (PDQS). FI and NS were analyzed as binary and continuous variables. Inferential statistics assessed group differences. Logistic regression assessed associations between the severity of FI and NS and food assistance program use.SummaryHouseholds with FI, ≥1 child (≤18 years), and annual income ≤$50,000 (n = 335) were included. Forty-three percent reported low NS. Low (vs. high) household NS was associated with a higher prevalence of child-level FI (79% vs. 43%,
