Social Capital in the Newborn Period and Household Food Insecurity at Child Age Two Years.
Article in Academic pediatrics, 2026. 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
objectiveCross-sectional analyses have demonstrated an association between lower social capital and higher food insecurity in families with children. This study examined the association between social capital in the newborn period and household food insecurity at child age 2 years in a diverse US sample.
methodsThis secondary analysis used survey data from 596 child-caregiver dyads enrolled at 6 US academic sites in Greenlight Plus, a childhood obesity prevention trial. Proportional odds regression models analyzed associations between 2 newborn-period social capital measures, caregiver social support and neighborhood social cohesion, and household food insecurity at child age 2 years, adjusted for newborn-period food insecurity and sociodemographic covariates. Additional models evaluated the interaction between the 2 social capital exposures.
resultsIn adjusted analyses, a low caregiver social support score of 18 was associated with over 3 times the odds of higher food insecurity at child age 2 years, compared to a high score of 30 (aOR=3.23 with 95%CI=1.84-5.68). Low neighborhood social cohesion in the newborn period was not significantly associated with higher household food insecurity at child age 2 years, with similar odds for a low neighborhood social cohesion score of 10 compared to a high score of 20 (aOR= 1.24 with 95%CI=0.56-2.78). Results remained similar when both social capital exposures were included in the same model, and no significant interaction was detected.
conclusionsCaregiver social support in the newborn period may represent a modifiable protective factor against developing or worsening household food insecurity in families with young children.
