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.

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.

Abstract

objectiveTo examine the efficacy of an adjunct motivational and autonomy-enhancing intervention (self-directed) for behavioral family-based pediatric obesity relative to the standard prescription of uniform behavioral skills use and interventionist goal assignment (prescribed).

methodsIn this randomized clinical trial, 72 overweight/obese children and their parents/caregivers were assigned to either self-directed or prescribed intervention for 20 weeks, with approaches diverging after week 5. Anthropometric measurements from child and participating parent at baseline, posttreatment, and 3-month, 6-month, 1-year, and 2-year follow-ups were evaluated for change (n = 59 in follow-up analyses).

resultsThe approaches demonstrated similar child body mass index (BMI) z-score and parent BMI change from baseline to posttreatment and throughout follow-up, with child and parent weight status lower than baseline at 2 years after treatment cessation.

conclusionsAn adjunct motivational and autonomy-enhancing approach to behavioral family-based pediatric obesity treatment is a viable alternative to the standard intervention approach.
