Facebook: The Use of Social Media to Engage Parents in a Preschool Obesity Prevention Curriculum.
Article in Journal of nutrition education and behavior, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 21 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
objectiveThis study investigated the use of Facebook to deliver health-related education materials to augment a preschool classroom-based obesity prevention curriculum.
designCross-sectional, mixed methods (descriptive and interviews).
settingHead Start classrooms administered by 2 large agencies (1 rural and 1 urban).
participantsConvenience sample of parents in 13 classrooms (cohort 1, 3 classrooms; cohort 2, 10 classrooms).
interventionDelivery of nutrition education curriculum content using social media (Facebook). VARIABLES MEASURED: Qualitative interviews assessed barriers and facilitators to Facebook use. Parent views, likes, and comments were measured to reflect parent engagement with Facebook. ANALYSIS: Content analyses (qualitative data) and descriptive statistics (quantitative data).
resultsFamily access (views) and interaction (comments and likes) with the posts varied based on type and content of posts. Rural families were more active. Barriers to parental Facebook engagement included a desire to see more posts from classroom teachers, lack of time, and misunderstanding about privacy protections. Facilitators of parental Facebook engagement included perceived utility of the content and social support. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS: Facebook was found to be a feasible platform to provide nutrition education and facilitated varying levels of parental engagement. Lessons learned and implications for prevention and intervention programming are offered.
