African American Food Environments and Anti-Inflammatory Intake in Pregnancy.
Article in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Understanding the spatial determinants of food intake is crucial for establishing links between maternal food environments, diet, and health outcomes. Therefore, this study aimed to identify how the distance and density of built food environments in proximity to African American pregnant women living in urban settings are associated with nutrient-dense, anti-inflammatory food intake. We hypothesized that living closer to grocery stores and farther from fast-food restaurants and convenience stores is associated with increased intake. We also hypothesized that higher grocery-store density and a lower density of fast-food restaurants and convenience stores is associated with increased intake. Using cross-sectional data from the Early Life Adversity, Biological Embedding (eLABE) and Risk for Developmental Precursors of Mental Disorders Study, as well as geographic information system (GIS) data and linear regression analyses, we examined the relationships between the built food environment and food intake in the St. Louis metropolitan area, adjusting for covariates. This analysis revealed that shorter distance to fast-food restaurants and longer distance to grocery stores were associated with higher legume intake in adjusted models. These findings highlight nuanced and counterintuitive associations, underscoring the need for additional research to understand why more distant grocery stores and closer fast-food restaurants are linked to higher legume intake among African Americans.
