Ending SNAP Eligibility for Refugees and Humanitarian Entrants: Food Access and Health Implications.
Article in Journal of immigrant and minority 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
In 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill (OBBB) eliminated Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) eligibility for refugees and other humanitarian entrants in the United States. This policy change occurs within a broader restrictive immigration environment and affects a population that experiences disproportionately high rates of food insecurity, compounded by structural, economic, and social barriers during resettlement. The policy may also affect immigrants who remain eligible for SNAP, as fears surrounding the immigration consequences of public benefit use may exacerbate 'chilling effects' that discourage SNAP participation. The consequences of the OBBB eligibility change are likely to extend beyond food purchasing support alone, with implications for food insecurity, health outcomes, health care utilization and costs, and long-term immigrant integration. We outline and qualitatively assess five federal and state policy options across dimensions of equity and near-term feasibility and highlight community-level mitigation strategies to support immediate needs. Sustaining access to nutrition assistance during resettlement remains central to protecting health, promoting equitable integration, reducing longer-term strain on health systems and public resources, and upholding humanitarian commitments.
