The impact of replacing regular- with reduced-fat dairy foods on children's wider food intake: secondary analysis of a cluster RCT.
Trial report in European journal of clinical nutrition, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 5 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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/
objectivesThe effect of changing one aspect of diet needs to be considered within the context of total diet. The study aim was to evaluate the changes in children's overall food intake following replacement of regular-fat with reduced-fat dairy foods. SUBJECTS/
methodsSecondary analysis of a cluster Randomized Controlled Trial where families were received parental behavioral nutrition education to change to reduced-fat dairy foods (intervention) or reduce screen time (comparison control). Food intake was assessed via multiple 24-h recalls at baseline, week 12 (end of the intervention) and week 24. Participants were parents and their children (4-13 years, N=145) who were regular-fat dairy food consumers. The intervention effect was based on mixed model analysis adjusted for covariates, and baseline food intake.
resultsAt week 24, total dairy servings per day were similar between groups and servings of reduced-fat dairy foods were higher in the intervention group (0.8 servings per day 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.5-1.1, P<0.0001). Fruit intake was higher in the intervention group (0.5 servings per day 95% CI 0.02-0.9, P=0.040), with no other statistically significant differences in food intake. In the intervention group, the contribution of core food groups to saturated fat intake was 45% at baseline and 31% at week 24, with 'extra foods' being the largest contributor to total energy (28%) and saturated fat (40%) intake at follow-up.
conclusionsChanging children's dairy food choices to reduced-fat varieties did not adversely affect overall food intake. Replacing energy-dense foods with nutrient-rich foods should be the focus of interventions to lower in saturated fat.
