Teaching families to manage intake of candy in the home: Results from a feasibility study using multiphase optimization strategy (MOST).
Article in Obesity science & practice, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
backgroundExcess intake of desserts/sweets high in added sugars, such as candy, is linked with greater obesity risk. Parents often limit their childrens' intake of these sweet foods using controlling feeding practices, such as restriction; yet, restrictive feeding practices are counterproductive for childrens' self-regulation of energy intake.
objectiveThis study developed a family-based behavioural intervention that taught parents alternatives to restrictive feeding practices and encouraged children to consume candy in moderation.
methodsUsing the multiphase optimization strategy (MOST), parent-child dyads (
resultsRetention rate at follow-up was high (95%). Among parents who received parent shared decision making, 86.4% reported the structured-based candy routine they set with their child was easy to follow. Most children reported child mindfulness (95%) and attention control (89.5%) strategies were easy to play. Children recalled 4.1 ± 1.8 of the six mindfulness strategies and 2.7 ± 1.6 of the five attention control strategies at follow-up. Eating in the absence of hunger tended to be lower for children who received parent shared decision making and child mindfulness components.
conclusionThis intervention was feasible and well-implemented in the home environment. Findings will inform future, larger interventions designed to test similar strategies on childrens; eating behaviours and self-regulation.
