The complicated relationship among parent and child disinhibited eating behaviors.
Article in Appetite, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Disinhibited eating behaviors (e.g., loss of control eating (LOC) and eating in the absence of hunger (EAH)) contribute to overeating and obesity. This study aimed to evaluate whether these traits are related in parent-child dyads and how the reporter of child eating behavior (parent or child) impacts this relationship. Two-hundred and ninety treatment-seeking children, ages 8-13, with overweight or obesity (BMI percentile for age and sex 85-99.9%) and their parents were included. LOC and EAH were assessed by child report for self, parent report for self, and parent report for child. Parent and child disinhibited eating behaviors were related only when parents reported on both their own and their child's eating behaviors (p-values < 0.04). Child report of LOC and EAH for self was not associated with parent report of LOC and EAH for self (p-values > 0.05). There was a significant interaction between parent's EAH and BMI as it related to parent report of child EAH (B = 0.02; SE = 0.005; p = 0.004) such that parents with lower BMI reported their own EAH to be lower than parents with higher BMI, but parent report of child EAH was similar regardless of the parent's BMI. Disinhibited eating behaviors were related only when a single parent reported on both their own and their child's behavior, suggesting a potential reporting bias. Given that the relation between parent and child disinhibited eating behaviors varies based on who is reporting the child's behavior, it may be important to consider both parent and child report when designing research studies or in clinical settings while also recognizing potential reporting biases.
