[Gender inequality: implications for the relationship between food insecurity and obesity in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil].
Article in Cadernos de saude publica, 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
This study aimed to evaluate the association between food insecurity and obesity in adult heads of household considering the differences between men and women. This cross-sectional study used data from the I Survey on Food Insecurity in the City of Rio de Janeiro. Adults (aged 20-59 years) who headed households (n = 1,026) were analyzed. Food security and food insecurity levels (mild and moderate/severe) were assessed by the Brazilian Food Insecurity Scale. Self-reported weight and height were used to estimate obesity, assessed by body mass index. Associations between families' food insecurity levels and obesity were estimated by multinomial logistic models (relative risk ratios - RRR - and their 95% confidence intervals - 95%CI) on Stata software. Women with mild (RRR = 2.8; 95%CI: 1.3-5.8) and moderate/severe food insecurity (RRR = 2.5; 95%CI: 1.0-6.4) had a higher risk of obesity. food insecurity constituted a risk factor for obesity only in women, with no statistically significant results in men, showing how gender inequality amplifies the adverse effects of food insecurity on female-headed households, compromising the quality and quantity of their diet.
