Children's diet quality: a mixed methods study on the role of domestic food environments in influencing food access during the COVID-19 lockdown in Chile.

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
backgroundHouseholds with lower socioeconomic status often have access to diets of poorer quality. However, even within the same socioeconomic group, intrahousehold dynamics influence food acquisition and influence children's diet quality. This study investigated how these dynamics influenced food access and dietary quality among low- to middle-income Chilean children during the COVID-19 lockdown.
methodsUsing an explanatory sequential mixed methods design, we conducted a survey (n = 999 households) and a qualitative photo-elicitation study in a subsample (n = 14 households). We report the results of the integration phase of the mixed methods study, which consisted of a side-by-side joint display table that juxtaposed the quantitative and qualitative results for each study dimension and a comparison and assessment of the "fit" between these results to generate meta-inferences that convey the insights derived from the integration.
resultsFood access was influenced by food-related practices particularly food purchasing and meal preparation. Three meta-inferences emerged: 1. Gender inequality in food responsibilities correlated with worse children's diet, directly and through time scarcity. 2. Time constraints limited the ability to buy and cook healthy foods, also restricting children's culinary education. 3. Households with a sole food gatekeeper often lacked resilience to navigate additional intrahousehold challenges, compromising children's diet quality.
conclusionsShort-term measures could improve access to nutritious food for time-limited caregivers. Long-term policies could promote cultural shifts toward shared food responsibilities. Additionally, leveraging coping strategies from resilient households may help strengthen community capacity and provide material support.
