Overt restrictive feeding for weight management: a preliminary retrospective examination of childhood experiences.

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
purposeOvert restrictive feeding practices (ORFP), aimed at promoting weight loss or preventing weight gain for children, are often implemented by parents with good intentions. Despite findings that indicate unintended weight and behavioral outcomes little is known about how parental ORFP are experienced by those who are subjected to them. Thus, we explored retrospective accounts of meaning making related to experiences of such practices during childhood.
methodsSix young adult females who experienced ORFP were interviewed. Data were analyzed using constructivist grounded theory.
resultsParticipants retrospectively associated experiencing ORFP with a meaning making process that involves: (a) perceiving parental motivation for ORFP and receiving messages about weight, (b) internalizing parental messages about weight, and (c) viewing self-worth as contingent on weight.
conclusionPreliminary findings suggest that parents may be reinforcing weight stigma in their children through ORFP. Results add evidence against the use of parental ORFP for childhood weight management. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level V, Descriptive study.
