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
purposeThis study investigated the relationships between socioeconomic status (SES), housing conditions, BMI z-score, food availability and consumption, food insecurity, and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in schoolchildren aged 5 to 10 years living in rural riverine communities.
methodsThis school-based cross-sectional study included 128 parent-child dyads living in rural riverside in the city of Coari, Amazonas, Brazil. SES, housing conditions, household food availability, consumption of ultra-processed foods and food insecurity data were gathered from children's parents. Children's nutritional status (BMI z-scores), diet quality and HRQoL [Kiddo-KINDL] were also assessed. Direct and indirect relationships between variables were examined through structural equation modelling.
resultsFood insecurity was directly linked to poorer HRQoL. Worse socioeconomic status, lower availability of food at household, and poorer child's diet quality were directly linked to food insecurity. Greater household food availability, higher children's BMI z-score, and worse diet quality were directly linked to higher socioeconomic status. Availability of food at home was directly associated with higher consumption of ultra-processed foods, which, in turn, was directly associated with poorer diet quality. Food insecurity mediated the indirect associations of socioeconomic status, availability of food at household, consumption of ultra-processed foods, and diet quality with HRQoL.
conclusionThe present findings elucidate the complex pathways between socioeconomic inequalities, food access and availability, diet quality, and children's quality of life.
