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

introductionThe incidence of pediatric prediabetes and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is increasing, with those from low socioeconomic status (SES) households at increased risk. Dietary fiber (e.g., whole grains) is shown to improve glucose control and there is need for innovative strategies that address barriers to consumption (e.g., limited availability).

methodsFood Overcoming our Diabetes Risk (FoodRx) was a pre-post study (N = 47) that provided 16 weeks of home-delivered whole grains, vegetables, and beans/legumes to households of low-income children in [blinded for submission] who had obesity and prediabetes. Child liking and intake (24-hour diet recalls) was evaluated. Anthropometrics and T2DM-related laboratory measurements (e.g. glycated hemoglobin) were measured for children, and for caregivers to evaluate potential spillover effect.

resultsPost-intervention, children increased liking of whole grains, vegetables, and beans/legumes (

conclusionsHome deliveries of fiber rich foods improved liking and intake among children at risk for T2DM. There was spillover effect on caregivers, who demonstrated improvement in T2DM-related laboratory measurements instead of the children.
