1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Background: Food insecurity and psychological distress, especially anxiety, are often interconnected, with notable gender-based differences. Understanding these relationships is crucial for informing targeted interventions during crises such as war. Objectives: To estimate food insecurity prevalence by gender and examine its association with anxiety and diet quality among Israeli adults in 2023-2024. Methods: A cross-sectional online survey was conducted among a representative random sample of Israeli adults (≥18 years). Food insecurity was assessed using the two-item Hunger Vital Sign, anxiety symptoms Results: Among 530 participants, food insecurity prevalence was 8.2%. Males reported higher smoking rates (31% vs. 22.2%, Discussion: These findings highlight critical gender-based disparities in mental health and lifestyle behaviors. Higher anxiety and distinct coping strategies among women align with feminist theories of emotional labor and "crisis patriarchy," suggesting disproportionate burdens during systemic disruptions. Public health and primary care strategies should incorporate screening and tailored interventions. Future research should apply an intersectional lens to explore how ethnicity, religion, and socioeconomic status intersect with gender to influence vulnerability.
