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

backgroundState- and local-level policies can influence children's diet quality and physical activity (PA) behaviors. The goal of this article is to understand the enacted state and local policy landscape in four communities reporting declines in childhood obesity. METHODS AND

resultsState-level policies were searched within the CDC's online Chronic Disease State Policy Tracking System. Local level policies were captured during key informant interviews in each of the sites. Policies were coded by setting [i.e., early care and education (ECE) also known as child care, school, community], jurisdictional level (i.e., state or local) and policy type (i.e., legislation or regulation). The time period for each site was unique, capturing enacted policies 5 years before the reported declines in childhood obesity in each of the communities. A total of 39 policies were captured across the 4 sites. The majority originated at the state level. Two policies pertaining to ECE, documented during key informant interviews, were found to be adopted at the local level.

conclusionSimilarities were noted between the four communities in the types of polices enacted. All four communities had state- and/or local-level policies that aimed to improve the nutrition environment and increase opportunities for PA in both the ECE and K-12 school settings. This article is a step in the process of determining what may have contributed to obesity declines in the selected communities.
