Perceived weight and barriers to physical activity in parent-adolescent dyads.
Article in Health psychology : official journal of the Division of Health Psychology, American Psychological Association, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
objectiveFamily-based physical activity interventions have the potential to reduce obesity, but more information is needed regarding physical activity in the family context. This study used an actor-partner interdependence model to estimate the dyadic association between perceived weight status and barriers to physical activity in dyads of adults and their adolescent children. It was hypothesized that greater perceived weight would be associated with greater barriers perceived by both one's self and one's partner.
methodData from 1,568 dyads in the Family Life, Activity, Sun, Health, and Eating study were used to examine the dyadic association between perceived weight status (i.e., greater perceived weight category) and barriers to physical activity. Models were stratified by actual weight (an overweight or obese dyad member vs. two normal weight dyad members) and adjusted for parent education, parent and adolescent age, gender, and race.
resultsAmong dyads with at least 1 overweight/obese member, greater perceived weight status was positively associated with one's own perceived barriers (significant actor effects, βs = 1.17 and 1.03, ps < 0.01) and one's partner's perceived barriers (significant partner effects, βs = 0.38 and 0.62, ps < 0.01). No statistically significant relationships were found for dyads with only normal weight members.
conclusionsAmong dyads with at least 1 overweight or obese member, significant partner effects for parents and adolescents demonstrate that the weight perception of 1 dyad member correlates with the barriers of the other member. These dyadic associations highlight the potential importance of family-based interventions for physical activity. (PsycINFO Database Record
