The mediating effect of food ınsecurity in the relationship between food ınflation and eating behaviors: a case of nursing students.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 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
Inroduction: Nursing students may be particularly vulnerable to food insecurity because of their intensive academic and clinical demands. Although food insecurity has been studied among university and nursing students, limited research has examined the links between food-price pressures, socioeconomic factors, and nutritional behavior, particularly the statistical mediating role of food insecurity. This study examined these relationships among nursing students. Methods: This cross-sectional correlational study included 250 undergraduate nursing students from the Department of Nursing at Kilis 7 Aralık University, Türkiye, between December 2025 and February 2026. Data were collected using a demographic information form, the Effect of Food Inflation on Nutrition Behavior Scale (EFINUB), and the Food Insecurity Experience Scale (FIES). Associations were examined using bootstrap-based path analysis, with unstandardized coefficients (B), standardized coefficients ( Results: EFINUB was moderately and positively associated with FIES ( Discussion: Food insecurity may represent an important statistical pathway linking socioeconomic and food-price pressures with nutritional behavior among nursing students. Lower family income, living away from family support, and prioritizing economic considerations when purchasing food were associated with greater food insecurity and perceived changes in nutritional behavior in response to rising food prices. These findings highlight the potential relevance of university-based measures, such as affordable meal programs, campus food-support initiatives, and targeted financial assistance, to support food accessibility among nursing students experiencing food-price pressures.
