1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 and Aims: Food insecurity (FI) is associated with lower diet quality and higher intake of ultra-processed foods, which contribute to inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The role of FI and dietary patterns in pediatric IBD remains understudied. We aimed to assess FI prevalence, dietary intake, and clinical outcomes in newly diagnosed pediatric IBD patients. Methods: This single-center cohort included patients aged 5-17 years. Caregivers completed the United States Department of Agriculture Household Food Security Survey Module. Dietary intake was classified according to the NOVA classification. Clinical outcomes, including remission, healthcare utilization, and mucosal healing, were assessed over 12 months. Similarity Network Fusion was used to integrate dietary, demographic, and clinical data to identify patient subtypes, which were then compared for baseline characteristics and clinical outcomes. Results: Among 120 patients, 14% reported FI. Food-insecure families lived in areas of greater social deprivation (0.27 vs 0.25, Conclusion: Greater unprocessed food intake was linked to improved outcomes, highlighting the potential role of diet quality in disease management in pediatric IBD.
