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

backgroundEffective childhood obesity prevention programs for preschool children are limited in number and focus on changes in the child care environment rather than the home environment. PURPOSE: The purpose of this project was to develop and test the feasibility of a home environment obesity prevention program that incorporates mindful eating strategies and Social Cognitive Theory (SCT) constructs.

methods

resultsThree of the four selected behavioral outcomes improved between pre- and post-intervention. The number of hours engaged in sedentary behaviors and intake of "red light" foods decreased while three of four mindful eating scores increased. Graduates of the program were able to decrease the number of "red light" foods available in their homes. DISCUSSION: Improvements in mindful eating and several key behaviors were observed after a three week mindful eating/home environment intervention. TRANSLATION TO HEALTH EDUCATION PRACTICE: Health educators should incorporate mindful eating strategies and use the SCT when designing childhood obesity prevention programs.
