Developing and evaluating a culturally-appropriate food kit for increased access to fruits and vegetables and DASH eating plan alignment in immigrant Hispanic/Latine individuals with hypertension: a pilot study.
Article in BMC nutrition, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05802134 (Increased Access to Fruits and Vegetables for DASH Diet Compliance in Immigrant Hispanic/Latinx Individuals With Hypertension), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
backgroundEffective nutrition interventions for hypertension (HTN), including the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) Eating Plan, fail to consider cultural preferences and barriers to obtaining and utilizing fruits and vegetables (F/V). A paucity exists in the literature regarding nutrition interventions tailored for Hispanic/Latine communities. This project aims to determine the outcomes associated with improved access to a culturally-appropriate, medically-tailored foods for Hispanic/Latine individuals with HTN via an iterative process: 1) conceptualization of culturally-appropriate F/V for a DASH box using a patient/provider survey, 2) formative DASH box development utilizing individual interviews for food preference feedback, and 3) free-living pilot trial of DASH box intervention to determine impacts on cardiometabolic markers.
methodsUsing community-based participatory research methods, findings from 50 surveys revealed F/V preferences which supported the conceptualization of 6 boxes, including F/V and staple foods to encourage DASH Eating Plan adherence. Boxes were displayed during 15 interviews gathering feedback on acceptability. Themes were assessed using the Framework Method and finalized via consensus building. A 28-day open trial enrolling 21 participants collected pre- and post- measurements of blood pressure (BP), weight, waist circumference (WC), and skin carotenoid levels. Weekly DASH boxes and diet education were provided. Pre-to post-changes in cardiometabolic markers were calculated via t-tests.
resultsThematic analysis determined participants prefer fresh F/V, use staple items to compliment F/V, and experience barriers (time, money, transportation) to accessing or using F/V. Post intervention, there was a significant improvement in systolic BP (mean difference of -4.17.8 mmHg, p = 0.01), diastolic BP (-3.76.4 mmHg, p = 0.004), and WC (-0.81.1 inches, p = 0.003). While mean difference in weight (-1.24.8 pounds, p = 0.26) and skin carotenoid levels (26.774.1, p = 0.06) changed, results were not significant.
conclusionsThis pilot study provides formative contributions regarding culturally-appropriate interventions for chronic disease management, suggesting a medically-tailored DASH box may be effective in lowering BP and other cardiometabolic risk factors for Hispanic/Latine individuals with HTN.
