Food insecurity and at-home vegetable and sugar-sweetened beverage availability: TX Sprouts randomized controlled trial.
Trial report in Scientific reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT02668744 (Texas Sprouts), which is not on this 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.

Abstract
Food insecurity and the at-home availability of vegetables and sugar-sweetened beverages both influence dietary intake. However, most research on food insecurity and the at-home availability of vegetables and sugar-sweetened beverages is cross-sectional, which is problematic as both change frequently. Therefore, this study assessed how changes in food insecurity were associated with changes in the at-home availability of vegetables and sugar-sweetened beverages among those in the intervention and control groups of TX Sprouts. Parents who participated in TX Sprouts, a gardening, cooking, and nutrition cluster-randomized trial conducted with primarily Hispanic, low-income 3rd-5th-grade students, completed surveys at baseline and at the nine-month follow-up regarding household food insecurity and the at-home availability of vegetables and sugar-sweetened beverages (n = 839). Changes in food insecurity were measured as a continuous variable and categorized according to guidelines at baseline and follow-up. Given that the TX Sprouts intervention improved the at-home availability of vegetables, and there was a significant interaction between changes in food insecurity and the intervention on the at-home availability of vegetables, the intervention and control groups were analyzed separately. Multivariable linear regression estimated how changes in food insecurity, as a continuous measure, were associated with changes in vegetable and sugar-sweetened beverage availability among those in the intervention and control groups. Analysis of covariance was used to analyze how changes in food insecurity, as a categorical measure, were associated with changes in vegetable and sugar-sweetened beverage availability among those in the intervention and control groups. In the control group, a one-point increase in food insecurity, indicative of becoming more food insecure, was associated with a decrease in the availability of vegetables (ß=-0.27, P<.001). In the intervention group, a one-point increase in food insecurity was associated with an increase in the availability of sugar-sweetened beverages (ß =0.05, P=.03). Further, in the control group, those with periodic food insecurity had a larger decrease in the availability of sugar-sweetened beverages compared to those with persistent food security (P=.02). In addition, in the intervention group, households with persistent food security experienced an increase in at-home vegetable availability, while households with periodic (P=.02) and persistent food insecurity (P<.001) experienced a significant decrease in at-home vegetable availability. Future interventions should improve the availability of healthy items for food-insecure households.Clinical Trial Registration Number: NCT02668744.
