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
purposePediatric obesity and eating disorders have adverse consequences on children's health and psychosocial functioning. Parents are involved in children's daily lives and their health, but the extent to which children's eating behaviors or weight impact parents' daily functioning is unknown.
methodsThe present study examined parent and child impairment because of child eating problems and weight in key life domains, including work/school, social life, and family life. Participants were parents (N = 861; 35.5% fathers) who completed an online cross-sectional survey, including perceived impairment because of their child's weight and eating behaviors.
resultsOverall, 7.0% of parents reported clinically significant impairment because of child weight, and 6.9% reported clinically significant impairment because of child eating behaviors. Significantly more parents of children categorized as having obesity reported clinically significant parent and child impairment than other weight categories. Parents of children who regularly engaged in secretive eating reported greater child impairment than those without problematic eating. When child weight and problematic eating behaviors were analyzed jointly with parent sex, child sex, and parents' overinvestment in their child's weight, parents' overinvestment in child weight was associated significantly with parent and child impairment, and secretive eating maintained a significant association, but weight status was no longer associated significantly with impairment.
conclusionsUnderstanding and considering individual and family impairment associated with obesity and problematic eating behaviors is critical for family-based prevention and treatment programs.
