Predictive Utility of Alternate Measures of Physical Activity and Diet for Overweight and Obesity in Low-Income Minority Women.
Article in American journal of health promotion : AJHP, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
purposeThe purpose is to compare the predictive utility of alternate measures of diet and physical activity for overweight and obesity among low-income minority women.
designCross-sectional analysis of baseline data from a cohort study.
settingThree public housing developments in South Los Angeles.Subjects: Adult women (N = 425). MEASURES: Primary outcome-weight status (normal BMI, overweight, or obese). Primary predictors- diet: 24-hour dietary recalls (Healthy Eating Index), dietary screener (intake of specific food groups), and single-item survey question (diet quality); physical activity: accelerometry (minutes/day of moderate-to-vigorous activity), short recall questionnaire (minutes/week of moderate and vigorous activity), and single-item questions (days per week did exercise; self-assessment of overall activity level). ANALYSIS: Multinomial logistic regression models, controlling for socio-demographic covariates. Models are built up starting with least resource-intensive measures of diet and physical activity (single items) and sequentially adding more resource-intensive measures. Model performance is assessed via information-based model selection indices.
resultsAdjusted relative risk for obesity for single-item measures ranged from .61 to .64 for diet (
conclusionSingle-item questions for diet and physical activity can provide valuable information about risk for overweight and obesity in low-income minority women when more resource-intensive assessments are infeasible.
