Pester Power: Examining Children's Influence as an Active Intervention Ingredient.
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 4 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 if children's pester power related to a classroom-based nutrition program, Together, We Inspire Smart Eating (WISE), is related to familial dietary habits and parental food purchases and practices.
methodsClassroom teachers delivered weekly WISE lessons at 7 Head Start sites across 2 states in the southern US. Before and after the intervention, parents were interviewed on the consumption of WISE fruits and vegetables, intake of nutrient-poor foods, parenting practices related to food, and exposure to WISE through the child's pester power.
resultsAfter controlling for baseline levels of outcome variables, child willingness to try new foods at baseline, and the effect of state, pester power predicated significant variance in the outcomes of consumption of WISE foods (F CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS: The findings of this study highlight the potential for children's influence on food consumption and habits at home.
