CHECK: A randomized trial evaluating the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of home visitation in pediatric weight loss treatment.
Article in Contemporary clinical trials, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03195790 (Value and Mechanisms of Home Visitation in Obesity Interventions for Low-income Children), which is not on this map. Cited by 5 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.

Abstract
backgroundSocioeconomically-disadvantaged households have a high prevalence of pediatric overweight/obesity, and also face barriers to accessing weight loss treatment in healthcare settings. Delivering family-based pediatric weight loss treatment in the home setting may enhance its efficacy by facilitating treatment attendance, enabling more tailored treatment recommendations informed by observations of the home environment, and increasing accountability. This paper describes the design of the Creating Health Environments for Chicago Kids (CHECK) Trial, which evaluates the efficacy, cost-effectiveness, and mechanisms of home visitation in family-based pediatric weight loss treatment for children in low-income households.
designCHECK is a two-arm, parallel group, randomized controlled trial that is enrolling N = 266 children, ages 6-12 y, who have overweight/obesity (BMI percentile ≥85) and live in a low-income household. Participants are randomized in a 1:1 ratio to either standard of care family-based weight loss treatment delivered in the home, or the identical intervention delivered in an academic medical center. The primary outcome is change in child BMI z-score from baseline to 12 months. Program delivery costs are rigorously documented to enable cost-effectiveness analyses from the societal and payer perspectives. Objectively-documented changes to the home environment and aspects of intervention delivery (e.g., hours of in-person contact received, quantity of behavioral goals set per session) will be tested as hypothesized treatment mechanisms. IMPLICATIONS: Findings will inform the design of future interventions, and treatment dissemination decisions by public health agencies and third-party payers.
