Acceptability, internal consistency and test-retest reliability of scales to assess parental and nursery staff's self-efficacy, motivation and knowledge in relation to pre-school children's nutrition, oral health and physical activity.
Article in Public health nutrition, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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
objectiveTo determine the acceptability, internal consistency and test-retest reliability of self-efficacy, motivation and knowledge scales relating to pre-school children's nutrition, oral health and physical activity.
designAn online questionnaire was completed twice with an interval of 7-11d.
settingOnline questionnaires were sent to participants via email from nursery managers. The parent questionnaire was also available on the parenting website www.netmums.com.ParticipantsEighty-two parents and sixty-nine nursery staff from Bristol, UK who had and worked with 2-4-year-olds, respectively.
resultsResponse rates were 86·3 and 86·0 % and missing data 15·9 and 14·5 % for the second administration of the parent and nursery staff questionnaires, respectively. Weighted κ coefficients for individual items mostly fell under the 'moderate' agreement category for the parental (75·0 %) and nursery staff (55·8 %) items. All self-efficacy and motivation scales had acceptable levels of internal consistency (Cronbach's α coefficients>0·7). The intraclass correlation coefficients for the self-efficacy, motivation and knowledge scales ranged between 0·48 and 0·82. Paired t tests found an increase between test and retest knowledge scores for the Nutrition Motivation (t=-2·91, df=81, P=0·00) and Knowledge (t=-3·22, df=81, P=0·00) scales in the parent questionnaire.
conclusionsOur findings demonstrate that the items and scales show good acceptability, internal consistency and test-retest reliability.
