The impact of maternal influences on childhood obesity.
Article in Scientific reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 25 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
There was a lack of detailed information about maternal influences on their children's body mass index (BMI) in Taiwan. The aim of this study was to find the evidence to describe how mothers' factors could affect their 2 to 9-year-old children's BMI, with data collected from May 2021 to June 2021. Anonymous self-administered questionnaires were completed by 1035 participants from Taiwan's six metropolitan cities and eight counties. After controlling for children's factors, such as number of children in a family, children's constitution, children's age and gender, hierarchical regression models were used to analyze the effects of five maternal factors on their children's BMI: maternal BMI, age, education level, monthly household income, and marital status (single parent or not). The results were found as follow: maternal BMI [β = .24], maternal educational level [β = -.141], and monthly household income [β = .071], significantly (p < 0.05) influenced their children's BMI. Higher maternal BMI was associated with a higher children's BMI. Mothers with lower levels of education background were more likely to have children with a higher BMI. Monthly household income was a positive factor influencing children's BMI. In conclusion, this study is the first detailed description of maternal influences on their 2-9 years old children's BMI in Taiwan. Although the study could not cover all of the factors influencing Taiwan's childhood obesity, we have discovered maternal BMI, education level, and monthly household income were significant factors associated with children's BMI.
