Neighbourhood deprivation and diet quality among a nationally representative sample of adults in Canada: an intersectional investigation.
Article in Public health nutrition, 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
objectiveThe environments where individuals live can shape their dietary patterns, but research using intersectionality as a context-informed analytic tool to assess associations between neighbourhood deprivation and diet quality is lacking. We therefore examined whether four dimensions of neighbourhood deprivation were independently and/or jointly associated with diet quality among adults in Canada.
designWe used 24-h dietary recall data to calculate Healthy Eating Index (HEI-2015) scores to assess diet quality and the 2016 Canadian Marginalisation Index (CAN-Marg) to assess four dimensions of neighbourhood deprivation (material resources, immigration/visible minority, age/labour force and households/dwellings). Weighted linear regression models were used to examine whether these CAN-Marg dimensions were independently and/or jointly associated with diet quality, adjusting for individual, household and area characteristics.
settingThe ten Canadian provinces.
participantsAdults (≥ 18 years) who participated in the 2015 Canadian Community Health Survey-Nutrition.

conclusionNeighbourhood material deprivation was not uniformly associated with poor diet quality. This suggests that associations between neighbourhood deprivation and diet quality are not universal and vary across neighbourhoods with differing immigrant, visible minority, age and labour force compositions.
