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

Health systems are integrating interventions to assist patients with food insecurity; however, people need varying levels of support. Rather than using a single intervention, adaptively providing interventions may be a more effective approach. The authors conducted a pilot, sequential, multiple-assignment randomized trial to determine the feasibility of an adaptive food insecurity intervention. Adults with uncontrolled hypertension who reported food insecurity were randomized to one of two interventions for 3 months in Stage 1: information about community resources or community health worker (CHW) support. Participants who did not have ≥10 mmHg improvement in systolic blood pressure at 3 months were re-randomized to CHW support or the delivery of medically tailored meals (MTM) in Stage 2 for an additional 3 months. We evaluated the proportion who enrolled, completed follow-up, and had an improvement in blood pressure. Sixty of 61 (98.3%) eligible patients enrolled. Four withdrew, 46 of 56 (82.1%) completed the 3-month follow-up, and 40 of 56 (71.4%) completed the 6-month follow-up. Of 27 randomized to resource information, 15 (55.6%) did not have ≥10 mmHg improvement and were re-randomized. Of 29 randomized to CHW support, 14 (48.3%) were re-randomized. The adaptive intervention that provided CHW support in Stage 1 and additional CHW support in Stage 2 resulted in 46.7% of participants with ≥10 mmHg improvement in systolic blood pressure at 6 months. The adaptive intervention that provided CHW support in Stage 1 and MTM in Stage 2 resulted in 66.7% of participants with ≥10 mmHg improvement. This study found that an adaptive food insecurity intervention was feasible to utilize.
