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
BACKGROUND/
objectivesFood insecurity remains a major public health challenge in Guamote Canton, Ecuador, particularly in areas characterized by high levels of poverty and limited educational attainment. This study examined the association between household income, educational level, and food insecurity in Guamote Canton.
methodsA cross-sectional survey based on the Latin American and Caribbean Food Security Scale (ELCSA) was administered to 368 households, allowing food insecurity to be classified into four categories: food security, mild insecurity, moderate insecurity, and severe insecurity. An Ordinal Logistic model was applied to identify the socioeconomic factors associated with food insecurity.
resultsThe results showed that household income and educational level were significantly associated with lower probabilities of food insecurity (β = -0.639,
conclusionsHouseholds located in rural areas and those headed by women were more likely to experience moderate or severe food insecurity. Overall, the findings highlight the importance of improving income opportunities, educational attainment, and structural living conditions, which may contribute to lower levels of food insecurity.
