1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundThe prevalence of obesity in the USA has risen to 39.8% of adults and 18.5% of children, yet there has not been a compensatory rise in residency training to reflect this epidemic.

objectivesTo examine pediatric residents' lived experiences of completing a novel home visitation curriculum for children with obesity in resource-poor areas of Washington, DC.

methodsPediatric residents completed a home visiting curriculum consisting of four modules followed by two home visits to families with a child struggling with obesity. Within 2 weeks of completing the curriculum, individual interviews were conducted with participants about their experience. Inductive coding was used to analyze the data, followed by clustering and theming.

resultsSaturation was reached after individual interviews with 13 residents between 2013 and 2015. Five themes emerged describing the residents' experiences: (1) enhanced understanding of home and community life, (2) awareness of personal biases and assumptions, (3) challenges of losing control and not being intrusive, (4) deeper relationship and enhanced empathy with patient and family, and (5) changes in delivery of care.

conclusionsThe findings from this study suggest that an obesity-focused home visiting curriculum may provide residents with a deeper understanding of social determinants of obesity and the opportunity to gain other necessary skills that may help them better care for individuals with obesity.
