Food Insecurity Among Sexual and Gender Diverse Persons in Brazil: Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic and Associations with Antiretroviral Nonadherence Among People Living with HIV.
Article in AIDS and behavior, 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
Food insecurity has re-emerged as a critical issue in Brazil, significantly worsened by the COVID-19 pandemic. We recruited Brazilian sexual and gender diverse (SGD) persons aged 18 + years on apps and social media across three periods: early (2020), late (2021), and post-COVID-19 (2024) pandemic. We explored two outcomes: food insecurity (all participants) and antiretroviral (ART) nonadherence (only persons living with HIV). Food insecurity was assessed using the 8-item version of the Brazilian Household Food Insecurity Measurement Scale. ART nonadherence was defined as reporting < 100% medication adherence in the past 30 days. Logistic regression models assessed factors associated with each outcome. In total, 22,327 participants were included (74.6% HIV-negative; 17.9% living with HIV, 7.5% HIV-unknown), mean age 37 years, 96.3% cisgender men. Compared to the early pandemic period, lower odds of experiencing food insecurity were observed for late (adjusted odds ratio [aOR]:0.65, 95% confidence interval [CI]:0.59-0.71) and post-pandemic (aOR:0.66, 95%CI:0.60-0.73) periods. Participants who reported to be living with HIV had higher odds of experiencing food insecurity (aOR:1.21, 95%CI:1.11-1.31). Food insecurity increased the odds of ART nonadherence (aOR:2.36, 95%CI:1.57-3.63). Compared to early pandemic period, late (aOR:2.69, 95%CI:1.81-4.09) and post (aOR:3.61. 95%CI:2.49-5.39) pandemic periods were associated with higher odds of ART nonadherence. Our study shows food insecurity as a critical barrier to optimal ART adherence among Brazilian SGD living with HIV. Although the experience of food insecurity decreased in the two most recent periods, its enduring association with HIV infection and ART adherence underscores the urgent necessity for comprehensive and integrated public policies.
