The Direct and Moderating Effect of Food Insecurity on Obesity-A Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in Food science & nutrition, 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
Although a substantial body of evidence indicates that food insecurity is positively associated with obesity, the underlying mechanisms of this relationship remain unclear. This cross-sectional study, conducted on 859 individuals, aimed to examine the association between food insecurity and obesity. Food insecurity was assessed using the Household Food Insecurity Access Scale (HFIAS), which was developed by the Food and Nutrition Technical Assistance (FANTA) project under the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). Factors influencing food insecurity and the role of food insecurity in obesity were evaluated. The mean age of the participants was 34.70 ± 13.84 years (range: 18-85). The prevalence of obesity was 4.5% in the mildly food-insecure group, 12% in the moderately food-insecure group, and 11.3% in the severely food-insecure group (
