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

backgroundFood insecurity (FI) has been a global threat, as a social determinant in connection with the prevalence of diseases requiring dietary interventions, such as asthma, has been established. This study aims to examine the relationship between FI and respiratory health outcomes.

methodsThis cross-sectional study included 7626 children and 17 530 adults from the 2007 to 2012 National Health and Nutritional Examination Surveys (NHANES) in the United States. Weighted multivariate regression models were used to evaluate the associations between FI and respiratory outcomes, including current asthma, wheezing, fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO), and lung function.

resultsThe weighted prevalence of high FI was 19.68% in children and 13.74% in adults. In adults, high FI was significantly associated with current asthma (OR: 1.41, 95% CI: 1.19-1.67) and wheezing (OR: 1.72, 95% CI: 1.48-1.99). The association with asthma was stronger in women (p for interaction = 0.02) and non-Hispanic Whites (p for interaction = 0.04), whereas wheezing showed stronger associations in non-Hispanic Whites (p for interaction = 0.01). High FI was linked to lower percent-predicted forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV

conclusionsFI is associated with increased asthma and wheezing in adults, particularly among women and non-Hispanic Whites, and with reduced FEV1 in both adults and children without asthma and wheezing.
