Household food insecurity among refugees: examining variations across different climatic contexts in Ugandan refugee settlements.
Article in Global health action, 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
backgroundOver a quarter of Uganda's population is food-insecure. Agrarian refugee populations are disproportionately affected; however, evidence on how food insecurity varies across refugee settlements by climatic region remains limited.
objectiveWe assessed refugee household food insecurity across three settlements located in different climatic regions of Uganda.
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted among 600 refugees from Kiryandongo, Nakivale, and Rhino Camp (200 per settlement). The Household Food Insecurity Access Scale was used to assess food insecurity and to compare it across and within settlements, using the adjusted chi-square test and post hoc survey-weighted tests. Modified Poisson regression identified factors associated with food insecurity, with 95% confidence intervals.
resultsHousehold food insecurity was high (84.7%, 508/600) and varied significantly by settlement and background characteristics. Prevalence was highest among households in Rhino Camp settlement (100%,
conclusionsFood insecurity was more prevalent in unimodal rainfall regions, larger families, female-headed households, and those with older heads. In contrast, households with higher education levels were more food secure. Implementing gender-sensitive interventions and educational initiatives would be essential for improving food security.
