The impact of nutrition education on food insecurity, food literacy, and dietary intake: a single-arm pre-post intervention study.

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
backgroundPoor food literacy behaviours may exacerbate food insecurity. Therefore, food literacy interventions have been increasingly utilized to improve food security and enhance dietary intake among low-socioeconomic adults. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of a nutrition education intervention on food security, food literacy, and dietary intake among low-income Saudi families.
methodsThis single-arm pre-post intervention study was conducted between June and August 2024. Seventy-three adults completed the pre-survey and 67 completed the post-survey. The survey included questions on food security, food literacy, and dietary intake.
resultsThe intervention was significantly associated with improvements in both food insecurity and food literacy. The mean food insecurity score decreased from 4.06 ± 2.98 pre-intervention to 2.71 ± 2.58 post-intervention, with a mean reduction of - 1.35 ± 1.62 (P < 0.001; Cohen's d = 0.83). In terms of food literacy, the mean score increased from 46.4 ± 10.9 to 58.4 ± 7.1, with a mean increase of 12 ± 9.07 (P < 0.001; Cohen's d = 1.32). Dietary intake also improved following the intervention. After adjustment for multiple comparisons, significant improvements remained for fruit intake, red and white meat intake, legumes, and bread and cereals.
conclusionsThe intervention showed short-term improvement in food insecurity and food literacy, along with favorable changes in dietary intake among low-income Saudi families.
