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

objectivesThe aim of this study was to examine the hypothesis that inexpensive and feasible healthy living practices in families, particularly in disadvantaged families, can promote the health of children.

methodsThe dataset was obtained from the Taiwan Birth Cohort Study and comprises a nationally representative sample of 19,712 3-year-old children in Taiwan. The Child Healthy Living Practices in Families (CHLPF) Index, which rates various items of personal hygiene, vegetable and fruit consumption, physical activity, time spent viewing television, and exposure to smoking, was created, and a logistic regression analysis was conducted to test the hypothesis.

resultsHigher CHLPF levels were significantly and consistently associated with better child health in families of all income levels. More specifically, the prevalence of ill health in children from poor families with a high CHLPF level was actually lower than that in children from affluent families with a low CHLPF level.

conclusionsThe implementation of low-cost and practical healthy living practices in families can effectively improve child health, especially that of disadvantaged children.
