Patient Perceptions of Family Physicians' Roles in Addressing Food Insecurity.
Article in Journal of primary care & community health. 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
backgroundFood insecurity (FI) affects health outcomes, yet screening in primary care remains limited and little is known about how patients view the physician's role. This study examined patient comfort and expectations with FI-related care.
methodsA cross-sectional survey of adult patients was conducted at family medicine clinics in New Jersey. The survey assessed patient comfort and expectations regarding FI discussions. Associations were analyzed using ANOVA and probit regression.
resultsAmong 250 respondents, 17.2% screened positive for FI. Few participants reported previous FI screening (1.2%), discussions with their primary care provider (1.2%), or referrals to FI resources (1.6%). Most respondents felt comfortable discussing FI. Patients identified roles for physicians in screening (24%) and providing referrals (37%).
conclusionsFI was common, yet screening, discussion, and referral rates were low despite patient comfort with physician involvement. Integrating patient perspectives into screening may improve FI identification and support within family medicine settings.
