Review in Academic pediatrics. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05003518 (ParentText User Engagement and Effectiveness Study), which is not on this map. Cited by 15 papers.

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.

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.

Abstract

Pediatric clinical practice often involves improving child health by changing parents' behavior. Strategies from behavioral economics-a field that leverages predictable patterns in human decision making to overcome barriers to behavior change-can improve health outcomes in adults. Although more research is needed, the application of these approaches to parent behavior change in pediatric settings has the potential to improve the clinical effectiveness of child health care. We review the foundational concepts of behavioral economics and identify the unique role of pediatricians in motivating parent behavior change. We then discuss how to apply 4 key strategies in practice-message framing, use of defaults, enhanced active choice, and harnessing social forces-to support parent decision making to improve child health. Leveraging behavioral economic principles around parental decision making has the potential to supercharge program effectiveness and improve patient and family health.
