Concern about Child Weight among Parents of Children At-Risk for Obesity.
Article in Health behavior and policy review, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
objectivesThis study investigated the relationship between parental concern about child weight and weight-related child behaviors, parenting practices, and household characteristics.
methodsParent-child dyads (N=421) enrolled in a randomized, controlled obesity prevention trial were evaluated at baseline.
resultsParental concern regarding child weight was associated with greater use of restrictive and monitoring feeding practices and lower total child energy intake.
conclusionsParents expressing greater concern about child weight were more likely to report engaging in strategies to regulate their child's dietary intake, some of which may inadvertently have negative consequences. Intervention strategies that activate parental concern about child weight should include guidance and support for engaging in feeding practices that support healthful child eating patterns and growth.
