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

Objectives: Estimate the prevalence and sociodemographic correlates of adolescent-reported food insecurity experiences from 2019-2021. Methods: Repeat cross-sectional data were collected in November-December 2019, 2020, and 2021 from adolescents aged 10-17 years living in the ten Canadian provinces (n = 11,057). The prevalence of ten items and five food insecurity subconstructs based on the 10-item Child Food Insecurity Experiences Scale was estimated. Weighted multinomial logistic regression assessed associations between sociodemographic characteristics and food insecurity experiences as a four-level ( Results: Across 2019-2021 among adolescents, the prevalence of Conclusion: The type and number of experiences reported underscores the value of directly measuring food insecurity. Interventions to mitigate food insecurity's adverse consequences are warranted.
