US Pediatrician Practices on Early Nutrition, Feeding, and Growth.
Article in Journal of nutrition education and behavior, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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.

main outcome measuresWorld Health Organization growth chart use, solid food introduction recommendations, healthy behaviors discussion. ANALYSIS: Descriptive statistics were calculated for nutrition-related questions. McNemar tests compared recommendations on the introduction of different solid foods at <6 months; chi-square tests of independence examined outcomes by pediatrician and practice characteristics.
resultsMost respondents (82.2%) reported using the World Health Organization growth charts at all well visits. Nearly half (45.3%) recommended solid food introduction at 6 months; 48.2% recommended <6 months. Cereals were more frequently recommended at <6 months than fruits/vegetables or meats (P <.001). Topics most frequently discussed were limiting juice (92.3%), and sugar-sweetened beverages (92.0%), avoiding restrictive and permissive food practices (30.7%), and avoiding food as a reward (29.1%) were least discussed. Pediatricians in hospital/clinic settings discussed healthy behaviors less than group or solo/2-physician practices. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS: For children under 2 years, most pediatricians reported using recommended growth charts and discussing healthy behaviors. Fewer discussed responsive feeding topics. Results for guiding solid food introduction were mixed. Continued efforts to support pediatricians' work could improve the implementation of recommended practices.
